COMMENTS

A Friedman number is one which is expressible in a nontrivial manner with the same digits by means of the arithmetic operations +, -, *, "divided by" along with ^ and digit concatenation.

Ron Kaminsky notes that, by Dirichlet's theorem, this sequence is infinite; see Friedman link. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Apr 30 2010

There are only 49 terms below 10^5, and there are less than 40 "orderly" terms (in A080035) below 10^6. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 03 2015

FORMULA

Intersection of A036057 and A000040. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 03 2015

EXAMPLE

Since the following primes have expressions 16381 = (1+1)^(6+8) - 3 ; 16447 = -1+64+4^7 ; 16759 = 7^5 - 6*(9-1), they are in the sequence.
