COMMENTS
This sequence is an approximation to the number of primes with n digits (A006879). The error in the approximation is tabulated in A228114.
Because A057793(n) = Riemann(10^n) is not defined for n=0, we set its value to zero for our purpose of defining the differences.

FORMULA
a(n) = A057793(n) - A057793(n-1).
EXAMPLE
For n=1, A057793(1) - A057793(0) = 5 - 0 = 5.
