Is there a nice closed form for this tetration derivative?

  • We compute the derivative of the n-th tetration of x using mathematical induction to help support our claim of its closed form.

    I think I found a better way to describe it that ignores sigma and pi notation at the cost of being recursive. It's so much cleaner looking in its generalized form tho

      Usually, "recursive" is what "closed forms" are not, but sigmas and pis are often (as in this case) not that different from recursion in terms of amount of work if you can't get around them, and I guess you didn't say it was a closed form, but it's still interesting to the get a recurrence formula for the derivative of a sequence of functions (which themselves can be described by a recurrence formula).

  • @Mr.Nichan
    @Mr.Nichan 8 місяців тому +5

    11:11 To be be clear, you just need to assume that it's true for SOME integer (which you have just proven), not for all natural numbers, and then proving it's true for n+1 proves it's true for all integer greater than or equal to n. The way you wrote it, someone could imagine you meant FOR ALL n in N, which would mean you were starting by assuming what you wanted to prove. This sort of thing might be why some people apparently think induction sounds like circular reasoning for a long time.

  • @sobermath

    This derivative is undefined at x=1, since for (ln(x))^k, where k=0 is lower bound in the sum, 0^0 is an indeterminate form, and so ln(x) not = 0 and hence x not equal 1.
    Nicely done derivation and proof! I just published an equivalent proof:

    and what I think is an equivalent closed form solution. Please feel free to critique!

      @iHATEbigots666 8 місяців тому

      ​@@mathieuaurousseau100 I have a B.S. in mathematics, so I'm very unqualified and suck at researching and understanding papers.
      Though I found one that shows plots of tetration for complex inputs. I struggle to understand how the extension works though. Its really neat to see how the graph changes for different bases. (see "Evaluation of holomorphic ackermanns" by
      Dmitrii Kouznetsov)
      Furthermore, multiple analytic extensions have been proposed. Different ones have different properties, which are subjectively preferential. This is because exponentiation is not commutative, so when repeating exponentiation, you have to carefully choose a way to evaluate your expressions. So I'm not aware of any analytic extension for tetration that has been widely agreed upon as the most useful by mathematicians, the way it has been done for repeated multiplication (aka exponention).

      @@mathieuaurousseau100 From what I have heard e^^(1/2) for example means find the function f(x) such that f(f(x))=e^x, and to do f(1). It's impossible to find an exact function f(x) where f(f(x))=e^x, but you don't need an exact function, you only need an approximate function that is approximately true for values of x between 0 and 1, and to use the recursion formula from there, and to get an every so closer approximate function for f(x). It turns out that e^^(1/2) is approximately 1.6464... We can also do the same thing to find e^^0.01, e^^0.02, ... if instead of finding f(x) such that f(f(x))=e^x, we instead find f(f(...100 times(f(x))...))=e^x. It's impossible to be true for the whole number line, it only needs to be approximately true for values between 0 and 1, and we can use the recursion formula from there.
