The reversible-prime conjecture in every base
The reversible-prime conjecture in every base
Fix a base and let denote the integer obtained by reversing the base- digits of . A reversible prime is a prime number whose digital reverse is also prime. Reversible-prime conjecture. For every base , there are infinitely many reversible primes; that is, infinitely many prime numbers such that is also prime. This is one of two long-standing conjectures about digital reversals mentioned in the paper and is described as currently out of reach.
