Theorem: The square of a palindrome P is also a palindrome iff the sum of the squares of the digits of P is less than 10 (see Diophante link).
From this sequence, we obtain the palindromes with digit 0 such that the square is also a palindrome, by adding 0's to each term to obtain new palindromes. For example, from 212, we obtain 20102, 2001002, 200010002, ... .
