In this paper we will consider the tetration, defined by the equation F(z + 1) = bF(z) in the complex plane with F(0) = 1, for the case where b is complex. A previous paper determined conditions for a unique solution the case where b is real and b > e1/e. In this paper we extend these results to find conditions which determine a unique solution for complex bases. We also develop iteration methods for numerically approximating the function F(z), both for bases inside and outside the Shell-Thron…

Solution of F(z+1)=exp(F(z)) in complex z-plane
TLDR
Robusts of the convergence and smallness of the residual indicate the existence of unique tetration F(z), that grows along the real axis and approaches L along the imaginary axis, being analytic in the whole complex z-plane except for singularities at integer the z ― 1 and the cut at z < ―2.

TLDR
Numerical algorithms for the precise evaluation of regular super-functions at a fixed point and their inverses in the complex plane are developed.
Computation of the two regular super-exponentials to base exp(1/e)
The two regular super-exponentials to base exp(1/e) are constructed. An efficient algorithm for the evaluation of these super-exponentials and their inverse functions is suggested and compared to the…

Solving F(z + 1) = bF(z) in the complex plane
TLDR
The generalized tetration, defined by the equation F(z+1) = bF(z) in the complex plane with F(0) = 1, is considered and natural conditions are found which force Kneser’s solution to be the unique solution to the equation.
