Solving tetration for base 0 < b < e^-e

The problem with the real fixpoint is, that the triangular Bell-matrices have (alternating signed) units on its diagonal. This prevents the computation of a matrix-logarithm as well of the diagonalization - at least in my implementations.
If I have no option for one of those, I can approximate tetration only via diagonalization of the square Bell-matrices (means: omitting the fixpoint-shifting). But here all coefficients depend on the size of the used matrix, they are in my view unpredictable and may only serve as rough approximations for a "first impression".
But well, let's see. It's surely not the highest summit of wisdom... and we also have the Newton-binomial-formula and others...
