I call these numbers zygodromes because digits appear at least in pairs and the Greek root for pair is zygo-.
For example, 112277, 44444333 and 55500111 are all zygodromes in base 10.
The total number of zygodromes in base 10 with at most digits is given by the recurrence defined by , , and
The sum of the reciprocals of zygodromes converges to a number approximatively equal to 0.3164971.
The prime is the only known zygodrome prime whose index is a zygodrome as well.
The first zygodromes (in base 10) are 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777, 888, 999, 1100, 1111, 1122, 1133 more terms
