Number of primes less than 10^n and equal to the difference of two consecutive eleventh powers (x+1)^11 - x^11 = 11x(x+1)(x^2+x+1)( x(x+1)(x^2+x+1)(x^2+x+3)+1) + 1 (A189055). Values of x = A211184. Sequence of number of primes less than 10^n and of the form (x+1)^11 - x^11 have similar characteristics to similar sequences for natural primes (A006880), cuban primes (A113478) and primes of the form (x+1)^p - x^p for p = 5 (A221846) and p = 7 (A221977).
