You're using the initial seed approximation, which is a three term taylor series, along with iterative logs/exps. After initialization, you need to "loop" through iteratively calculating the Kneser theta mapping. After 13 iterations (which takes about 4 seconds), you'll get results accurate to 110 binary bits.

The separate "init(b)" routine from the "loop" routine is a little confusing. Originally, the kneser.gp program was more of an experiment, although I kind of like to be able to initialize for a base, and see the fixed point, and the pseudo period, before doing the loop. Sometimes I want to manually control the looping....

Anyway, I could change the program in one of two ways that would make it simpler. Both changes I'm thinking of involve putting the "loop;" at the end of the init routine, so that anytime you initialize for a given base, via "init(b)", the program automatically loops through with the current precision, generating the sexp(z) series. Then the question becomes what to do when kneser.gp is first loaded into pari-gp. Since the loop only takes 4-5 seconds for base e, "\p 67", I could have the program fully initialize for base e when it loads, going through the loop of thirteen iterations. Or, I could completely remove the partial initialization for base e when the program loads. Any opinions, as to which makes more sense?

Sheldon, I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong here, but whenever I try to plot anything with this function:

Code:
V(a,b,t) = {
  if (real(t)<1,  return(exp2(t,exp2(-t,a)+exp2(-t,b))));
  if (real(t)>=1, return(exp2(t,exp2(-t,a)+exp2(-1,b))));
}

exp2(t, a) = {
  if (a==2, return(2));
  if (a == 4, return(4));
  if (real(a)>2, return(superf(isuperf(a)+t)), return(superf2(isuperf2(a)+t)));
}

I repeatedly get a cryptic Win32 error:
Code:
gp 4852 child_copy: linked dll data write copy failed

This is my proposed "natural" extension to the Ackermann function, I'm confused as to why it won't plot.

I appreciate any help you can give me, thanks.

I'll take a look. I need to know what base you're initializing for. The Ackermann function means you're probably initializing using base 2? hmmm, looking at your code, you're probably using base sqrt(2), which has two different superfunction solutions and fixed points of 2 and 4. I'll post some more after I do some experiments for base sqrt(2), along with your routine.

I wasn't able to reproduce the error you saw, but I think I know what the problem is. sqrt(2)<eta, which is a special case for the program. The problem I suspect you're having is that I changed the code in this last round of optimizations, so that the superf/isuperf routines now use a power series, but the power series for the superfunction and inverse superfunction only gets calculated when you calculate the kneser mapping, which didn't used to be the case. I forgot that you were using the program the code only for the superfunctions, and not to generate a kneser mapping. I realize you have no interest in the esoteric kneser mapping I calculate for the sqrt(2) base, but it only takes a few seconds to caulcate. The fix for your problem is probably to execute the "loop;" command after init(sqr(2)). Then the graphs I generated for exp2(-2,t) and exp2(+2,t), worked fine.
- Shel
Code:
\r kneser.gp
init(sqrt(2));
loop;
exp2(t, a) = {
  if (a==2, return(2));
  if (a == 4, return(4));
  if (real(a)>2, return(superf(isuperf(a)+t)), return(superf2(isuperf2(a)+t)));
}

ploth(t=1.5,5,z=exp2(2,t);[real(z),imag(z)]);
ploth(t=1.5,5,z=exp2(-2,t);[real(z),imag(z)]);

Here is the most recent code, Nov 12th, 2013:
.gp   kneser.gp (Size: 35.84 KB / Downloads: 993)
updates Nov 12th 2013; this is the same as the code at the top of the first page
o updated to be compatible with latest pari-gp
o removed eval, and kill
o enhanced prtpoly routine
o added lambertL routine
end updates Nov 12th, 2013

Nov 21st, 2011 version of "kneser.gp", previous version link:
.gp   kneser_backup_110811.gp (Size: 34.36 KB / Downloads: 939) This update is largely cosmetic. I cleaned up a lot of stuff that I've wanted to clean up for a long time. Its stable. I've been using it for a couple of months for experiments, and tests. Here is a list of the changes in this version of "Kneser.gp".

init(base) automatically initializes and then automatically loops through generating the xsexp and xtheta taylor series for future operations. The old loop command is no longer required by the user, but is available as an internal function. "rawinit(base);loop(n);" rawinit is an internal function which is also not generally required by the user, which is the initialization function without looping, so the user can manually control looping. This change will help minimize some user errors, as well as simplify the use of the program.
sexp(z) now works for the entire complex plane. if imag(z)>0.87, the sexp(z) routine automatically switches to using thetaaprx(z). Therefore, the splicesexp(z) routine is no longer necessary, and is now deprecated
internal function name changes: thetaaprx(z) replaces riemaprx(z), which is more accurate, since Knesser's Riemann mapping is not a theta(z) mapping, although the two mappings can be shown to be mathematically equivalent.
internal function name changes: thetaup replaces riemup, to update the xtheta array during loop iteration
internal function name changes: Schroder/iSchroder replaces xisuperf/superf taylor series. These are the polynomial taylor series for the schroder function and inverse schroder functions, which have a radius of approximately rsuper. These names are more consistent with the mathematic's communities literature on iterated functions.
precision fix to sexptaylor and slogtaylor functions, to automatically update resulting polynomial to full precision otherwise, when these taylor series are evaluated via eval(f), they can return inaccurate results
help, and morestuff menus are cleaned up a little bit, which should hopefully make it easier to use the program.
xsexp is no longer initialized at startup. This helps minimize user errors with unitialized data. The cheta routines are still initialized at startup, and the cheta routines are still updated by init(base) but if and only if the precision has changed.
pentation.gp has all of the new minor changes from kneser.gp, included in it.

To use the program, you'll need to install pari-GP. After loading kneser.gp, to generate the sexp/tetration function for base e, type in "init(exp(1))". The program will loop and generate the xsexp/xtheta polynomials. Then type in sexp(z) for any complex valued z, and the program will return sexp(z). For example, sexp(1)=~2.71828...

Base<1 doesn't work yet!???

Why is this called "Kneser"? can you provide the article or reference that inspired this algorithm?

Take a look at these two posts; Henryk's post, http://math.eretrandre.org/tetrationforu...hp?tid=213
and Jay's post, http://math.eretrandre.org/tetrationforu...hp?tid=358

Kneser's Riemann mapping results in \( \exp(2\pi i \cdot f(z)) \) where \(
f(z)=z+\theta(z)=\alpha(\text{sexp}(z))\;\; \) which has been wrapped around a unit circle by using the substitution \( z = \frac{\log(y)}{2\pi i} \). So my approach is related, and mathematically equivalent, but not identical. In the approach used in my kneser.gp program, I iterate, generating increasingly accurate \( \theta(z) \) approximations from increasingly accurate sexp(z) taylor series approximations where in the limit, \( \text{sexp}(z)=\alpha^{-1}(z+\theta(z)) \)

Question 
Without putting any characters between the parentheses, why does init() initialize tetration at base e? E is the natural base for exponentiation. Isn't the Tetra-Euler number the natural base for tetration?
Please remember to stay hydrated.
