Super-root

In mathematics, the super-root is one of the two inverse functions of tetration. Just as exponentiation has two inverse functions: roots and logarithms, likewise tetration has two inverse functions: super-roots and super-logarithms. The super-root is the inverse function of tetration with respect to the base: if $^n\; y\; =\; x$, then "y" is an "n"th super root of "x".

Square root

The 2nd-order super-root, or "super square root", is noteworthy for its simple expression in terms of Lambert's W function. Namely,

:$ssqrt(x)\; =\; e^\{mathrm\{W\}(mathrm\{ln\}(x))\}$
