Extension of tetration to real and complex heights
Abstract
The continuous tetrational function , the unique solution of equation and its differential equation , is given explicitly as , where is a real variable called height, is a real constant called base, is the sawtooth function, is the floor function of , and is a q-analog of with , respectively. Though is continuous at every point in the real plane, extensions to complex heights and bases have limited domains. The base can be extended to the complex plane if and only if . On the other hand, the height can be extended to the complex plane at . Therefore and in cannot be complex values simultaneously. Tetrational laws are derived based on the explicit formula of .
