Henryk asked me to plot them all versus real argument as a separate post.

Functions \( F_{4,5} \) and \( F_{4,5} \) entire.
One of them can be obtained from another one, just displacing the argument.
Tetration \( F_{2,1} \) has, as you know, singularities and the cutline; due to the periodicity, there is set of singulatities and cutlines. Function \( F_{2,3} \) can be obtained by translation of tetration \( F_{2,1} \), so, it has similar singulatities.

because each of them is periodic and the periods are imaginary.
(05/11/2009, 12:55 PM)sheldonison Wrote: Do they have the same periodicity?No. Periods are different:
\( T_2=2\pi \mathrm{i}/\ln(\ln(2))\approx -17.143148179354847104 {\mathrm i}
\)
\( T_4=2\pi \mathrm{i}/\ln(2\ln(2))\approx 19.236149042042854712 {\mathrm i}
\)
(05/11/2009, 12:55 PM)sheldonison Wrote: Does only one have singularities?Tetration \( F_{2,1} \) has singularities;
its displacement \( F_{2,3} \) has too.
(05/11/2009, 12:55 PM)sheldonison Wrote: Given that \( F_{2,3}(z)= F_{4,3}(z) \) at all integer values of z, then can these two functions be expressed in terms of each other, where \( F_{2,3}= F_{4,3}(x+\theta(x)) \)?Yes.
(05/11/2009, 12:55 PM)sheldonison Wrote: Is the \( \theta(x) \) function analytic?Yes.
\( \theta(z)=F_{4,3}^{-1}(F_{2,3}(z)) -z \)
is 1-periodic function; it is almost sinusoidal.
Henryk, can we begin to distribute the draft of our paper?
It would answer a lot of questions we provoked with the plot...
