Comments

A227693 provides exactly the values of pi(10^n) for n = 1 to 4 and yields an average relative difference in absolute value, average(abs(A227694(n))/pi(10^n)) = 1.58269...*10^-4 for 1 <= n <= 25.

A227693 provides a better approximation to the distribution of pi(10^n) than: (1) the Riemann function R(10^n) as the sequence of integers nearest to R(10^n) (A057794), which yields 0.01219...; (2) the functions of the logarithmic integral Li(x) = Integral_{t=0..x} dt/log(t), whether as the sequence of integers nearest to (Li(10^n) - Li(3)) (A223166), which yields 0.0074969... (see A223167), or as Gauss's approximation to pi(10^n), i.e., the sequence of integers nearest to (Li(10^n) - Li(2)) (A190802), which yields 0.020116... (see A106313), or as the sequence of integer nearest to Li(10^n) (A057752), which yields 0.032486....
