I felt that this topic is so basic for my palindrome website that it should have appeared much earlier... but 'better late than never' the saying goes. (Source: see Sloane's integer sequences A056449 up to A056523) The description of, for instance A056450, is as follows Palindromes using a maximum of four different characters. The "palindromicy" refers to the number of palindromes that one can make using an alphabet of four letters. Suppose a, b, c, d are the only letters in our alphabet. Then for words of length 1 the only (trivial) palindromes are the letters themselves, i.e. a, b, c, d. (4 altogether) For words of length 2 the only palindromes are: For words of length 3 the only palindromes are: etc... Proceeding in this fashion we obtain the sequence | |||
