cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Comments

e^(1/e) = 1/((1/e)^(1/e)) (reciprocal of A072364).
Let w(n+1)=A^w(n); then w(n) converges if and only if (1/e)^e <= A <= e^(1/e) (see the comments in A073230) for initial value w(1)=A. If A=e^(1/e) then lim_{n->infinity} w(n) = e. - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 06 2002; corrected by Robert FERREOL, Jun 12 2015
x^(1/x) is maximum for x = e and the maximum value is e^(1/e). This gives an interesting and direct proof that 2 < e < 4 as 2^(1/2) < e^(1/e) > 4^(1/4) while 2^(1/2) = 4^(1/4). - Amarnath Murthy, Nov 26 2002
For large n, A234604(n)/A234604(n-1) converges to e^(1/e). - Richard R. Forberg, Dec 28 2013
Value of the unique base b > 0 for which the exponential curve y=b^x and its inverse y=log_b(x) kiss each other; the kissing point is (e,e). - Stanislav Sykora, May 25 2015
Actually, there is another base with such property, b=(1/e)^e with kiss point (1/e,1/e). - Yuval Paz, Dec 29 2018
The problem of finding the maximum of f(x) = x^(1/x) was posed and solved by the Swiss mathematician Jakob Steiner (1796-1863) in 1850. - Amiram Eldar, Jun 17 2021
