Infinite products

[tommy1729]

I just remembered a method I tried like 5 years ago, but haven't visited in a while.

Now that we have better power series expansions of tetration, for example, at \( x=(-1) \) we have

\(
\text{tet}(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}c_k(x+1)^k
\)

and using the definition, we can rewrite this as

\(
\begin{array}{rl}
\text{tet}(x)
& = \exp\left(\text{tet}(x-1)\right) \\
& = \exp\left(\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}c_kx^k\right) \\
& = \prod_{k=0}^{\infty} \exp(c_k{x^k}) \\
& = \prod_{k=0}^{\infty} a_k^{x^k} \\
\end{array}
\)

where \( a_k = e^{c_k} \)

I wonder if this simplifies the coefficients or just makes things more complicated?

that could have been my own post

i wondered about it too.
