Conjecture $\lim_{n\to\infty} f(n) = e^{1/e}$ where $f(n) = x$ such that ${}^{n}x = n$ Discussion To evaluate f at real numbers, an extension of tetration is required, but to evaluate f at positive integers, only real-valued exponentiation is needed. Thus the sequence given by the solutions of the equations $x = 1$ $x^x = 2$ $x^{x^x} = 3$ $x^{x^{x^x}} = 4$ and so on... is the sequence under discussion. The conjecture is that the limit of this sequence is $e^{1/e}$, also known as eta ($\eta$). Numerical evidence indicates that this is true, as the solution for x in ${}^{1000}x = 1000$ is approximately 1.44. The conjecture is proven to be true.
