Hi.
I was wondering about this. I saw this:
http://arxiv.org/abs/1105.4735
made by two forum members here. It gives asymptotic formulae for the tetration and "upper super-exponential" to base
, also called "
".
In particular, the formula is given for the tetration at base with
 = e \left(1 - \frac{2}{z} \left(1 + \sum_{m=1}^{\infty} \frac{P_m(-\log(z))}{(3z)^m}\right)\right))
so that
is just a constant shift of this function. I'm not sure if this is a convergent formula or just an asymptotic, as the paper says asymptotic analysis determines the coefficients.
The first few polynomials
are given by
 = t)
 = t^2 + t + 1/2)
 = t^3 + \frac{5}{2}t^2 + \frac{5}{2}t + \frac{7}{10})
 = t^4 + \frac{13}{3}t^3 + \frac{45}{6}t^2 + \frac{53}{10}t + \frac{67}{60})
 = t^5 + \frac{77}{12}t^4 + \frac{101}{6}t^3 + \frac{83}{4}t^2 + \frac{653}{60}t + \frac{2701}{1680})
Now, is there some kind of explicit (at least a finite summation/product etc. is what I mean) formula for these polynomials?

So is there an explicit formula for the coefficients, or, perhaps more elegantly, the polynomials (e.g. as sums of multiplied simpler polynomials, for example) in the tetration? Also, are these formulas of any interest? I don't know if anyone saw them on the MathOverflow site. I'm the original poster of the question linked there, btw.
