      Or 6 multiplied by itself 10^(10^(10^36305.31580191888)) times, I don't get how multiplying 6 that many times (the small number you gave) will result in such a huge number such as 6^6^6^6^6^6.

    While it is true that there technically were two definitions of the superfactorial proprosed in 1990, the first definition, denoted by n!s, or denoted by sf(n), which is equal to n!·(n - 1)!···2!·1! is the definition most mathematicians use. Clover's definition is typically called the suprafactorial, or the Clover factorial, or confusingly, the tetrational factorial, which is the name for another operation already. Also, the notation n$ is reserved for Clover's definition, it is never used for the smaller definition. As I said, the smaller definition actually has proposed notations sf(n) and n!s, which is what mathematicians tend to use.

      @angelmendez-rivera351 Před 3 lety

      @DejMar I'm completely aware that Clover did not invent the definition of the large superfactorial. That is completely irrelevant to my post, though, since I never made any claims about who invented it, I merely addressed the operator by its commonly used name. In fact, the operation being described can be concisely defined as simply n$ = n!^^n! for all n, since tetration is defined for all natural bases and heights.
      Simon and Plouffe's definition is not a product of consecutive k^k terms, but rather consecutive k! terms. In other words, sf(n) is defined by sf(0) = 1 & sf(n + 1) = (n + 1)!·sf(n). The product of consecutive k^k terms is not the superfactorial, but the hyper factorial, denoted H(n), with the analytic continuation being the K function.

To my knowledge, no such sequence has been studies.

      @SvenBeh Před 4 lety +1

      You could (and should) write H(n) using product notation: H(n) = product of k=1 to n over k^k. Then by definition H(0) would be an empty product, since starting at 1 you are already above the endpoint (namely 0). It is mathematically useful to define the empty product to be 1 and the empty sum to be 0, because the neutral element for multiplication is 1 (as in a*1 = a) and the neutral element for addition is 0 (a+0=a). You can think of the product sign as meaning: „start at the neutral element and multiply as many elements until you reach the upper bound.“ so if you already are above the upper bound, you do not multiply any elements, so your answer is the neutral element (1).

The second definition of the super factorial, the n$ = n!^^n! is sometimes called the suprafactorial by said mathematicians, or just the Clover factorial.

H(0) is not identical to 0^0 in expression. H(n) is equal to the product of k^k with k running from 1 to n. So it would be impossible for 0^0 to show up: H(0) is simply the empty product, which is 1.
