Base 1 and base infinity? I'm not quite sure I follow...

The best way to illustrate it is through this graph:
![]() where the thin dotted line is tetration base-1, the solid line is tetration base-e, and the thick dotted line is tetration base-infinity. Neither of these are very interesting (because they are straight lines), and base-infinity isn't really solvable, but it doesn't matter because you can take limits. In the limit as the base goes to 1 the curve gets closer and closer to the thin dotted line, whereas in the limit as the base goes to infinity, the curve gets closer and closer to the thick dotted line, so these aren't really functions but asymptotes of tetration! ![]() Andrew Robbins

That: which means in the limit: and: One of the nice things about having an exact form for all approximations is that the approximations are invertible (so we can find tetration as well) but the limit to infinity makes it discontinuous, which is not invertible.

Indeed, that would be strange. I'm not assuming convergence, but I am assuming that:
What I can prove is that for the nth approximation of the super-log (the finite series):
From this it is easy to show Andrew Robbins
Hi -
I reread this thread yesterday. Now I tried a matrix-version of the slog - I'd now like to see, if the two methods agree. In short: I suppose most matrices as known, as a reminder I only recall that the matrix Ut performs the decremented iterated exponentiation Ut(x) to base t here: Code: ´ ----------- Now to ask for the superlog is to ask for the height h, given y and x=1. This can surprisingly easy be solved using the known eigenmatrices Z of Ut let u=log(t) then Code: ´ Ut = Z * dV(u) * Z^-1 then also Code: ´ Ut^h = Z * dV(u^h) * Z^-1 Then the equation Code: ´ V(x)~ * Ut^h = V(y)~ can be rewritten as Code: ´ Code: ´ (V(x)~ * Z) * dV(u^h) = (V(y)~ * Z) -------------------------------------------- Since we need only the second column of the evaluated parentheses, let's denote the entries of the r'th row of the second column of Z as z_r Then define a function Code: ´ g(x) = z0 + z1*x + z2*x^2 + z3*x^3 + ... Code: ´ g(x)*u^h = g(y) Code: ´ If g(x) diverges conditionally, it may still be Euler-summable (see **) For base t=2 the sequence of z_k diverges with a small rate, and seem all to be positive. If x is negative, then this is surely Euler-summable, if |x|<1/2 then it is even convergent. Example-terms z_r for t=2 Code: ´ By the definition b=t^(1/t) we may use this also for the tetration-function (or better "iterated exponential" in Andrew's wording) of base b, since Code: ´ Tb(x) = Ut(x')" where x'=x/t-1 and x"=(x+1)*t (but remember, that this use of fixpoint-shift gives varying results dependent of the choice of the fixpoint - however small the differences may be, according to our current state of discussion) So Code: ´ for Ut°h(x) = y the height-function hghU() gives Code: ´ h = hghU_t(y) = log( (g(y)/g(1)) / log(log(t)) and for Code: ´ Tb°h(x) = y the height-function hghT() gives Code: ´ Gottfried ------------------------------------------------------------- (**) the Euler-summation adds coefficients e_k of weight to each term in g(x), so the Euler-summed variant eg(x) of the dim-truncated powerseries is then eg(x) = e0*z0 + e1*z1*x + e2*z2*x^2 + e3*z3*x^3 + ... + e_dim*z_dim*x^dim where the e_k have to be determined by a given size of matrix-truncation and a given appropriate Euler-order.

Gottfried Wrote:and forActually this means, the hgh-functions compute the height-differences; call lgg(x)= log(g(x))/log(u) then more generally hghT_b(x1,x0) = lgg(x1') - lgg(x0') hghU_t(x1,x0) = lgg(x1) - lgg(x0) and hghT_b(x) = lgg(x') - lgg(1') and hghU_t(x) = lgg(x) - lgg(1) may be taken as short notations for a default case. (Remember, that the function g and lg are dependent on the base-parameters b and/or t) Gottfried

However not completely: One can not expect the slog to satisfy slog(e^z)=slog(z)+1 *everywhere*. Its a bit like with the logarithm, it does not satisfy log(ab)=log(a)+log(b) *everywhere*. What we however can say is that log(ab)=log(a)+log(b) *up to branches*. I.e. for every occuring log in the equation there is a suitable branch such that the equation holds. The same can be said about the slog equation. So if we can show that Andrew's slog satisfies slog(e^z)=slog(z)+1 e.g. for Quote:also this makes me doubt - especially considering that for every base b slog should 'also' ( together with the oo value at the fixed point A mentioned above ) have a period ( thus abs ( slog(A + period) ) = oo too ! ) - , however thats just an emotion and no math of course ...I just showed in some post before but dont remember which one: again up to branches. Quote:( btw the video link mentioned in this thread doesnt work for me bo , maybe it isnt online anymore ? ) well it seems to not exist anymore. It didnt give concrete solutions to our problems, it was just interesting that others also deal with the solution of infinite equation systems and approximation via finite equation systems. |
