Euler observed in L. Euler De formulis exponentialibus replicatis'
that the equation g= z^z^g sometimes has real roots g that are
not roots of h=z^h. A complete analysis of such questions considering also the complex
roots involves the T function as shown by Hayes in ND Hayes "The roots of the equation x
=c (exp)^n (x) and the cycles of the substitution
x ce^x
