Comments

The first prime in this sequence is a(13) = A260871(9). Since a(11) is not prime, the base 11 is not listed in A260343.

Examples

			a(0) = 0 is the result of the empty sum corresponding to 0 digits.
a(2) = (11+1)^2 = 11^2 + 2*11 + 1 = 121_11, concatenation of (1, 2, 1).
a(12) = 123456789a101110a987654321_11 is the concatenation of (1, 2, 3, ..., 9, a, 10, 11, 10, a, 9, ..., 1), where "a, 10, 11" are the base-11 representations of 10, 11, 12.

PARI

a(n,b=11)=sum(i=1,#n=concat(vector(n*2-1,k,digits(min(k,n*2-k),b))),n[i]*b^(#n-i))

Formula

For n < b = 11, we have a(n) = R(b,n)^2, where R(b,n) = (b^n-1)/(b-1) are the base-b repunits.
