So I assume you're trying to define an extension to the Ackermann function for real numbers, where A(x) = m {x} n, where "m" is the base, and x is a rational operator.
-1 <= f <= 0
b {3} f = f + 1
S(q) = q
and therefore:
m {q} q = m
Further notes:
Consider the function
A(x) = m {x} n
Which is a generalization of the Ackerman function, extending it to domain real.
...
So,
A(x=2)= m (2) n = m*n.
A(x=3)= m (3) n = m^n.
A(x=4)= m (4) n = m^^n
Is this the basic idea, where we are extending it to allow for for real values of "x" as well? Then Henryk's request is to see a graph of
f(q) = 2 {q} 3.
so f(2)=2*3=6, f(3)=2^3=8, f(4)=2^^3=16 ..... Sounds interesting!
I don't think the linear approximation for the critical strip for [-1..0] for tetration is a good idea. There are many approaches to extending tetration to real numbers, that are analytic on the complex plane, and they all seem to agree with each other.
