There's this result in the MSC database, but there is no document accessible anywhere, so it can't be verified. https://mathscinet.ams.org/msc/msc.html?...earch&ls=s
If you look around on page 15, it almost looks like it is providing an analytic continuation of tetration for any height of tetration (although for very limited bases), even complex numbers or non-integer numbers. Is that actually correct? Do we finally have a way to use tetration for any height?
Even if it is correct though, if it can't be attributed with a reputable source (which neither wikipedia nor a random forum on the internet is), then it can't be cited for anything, so hopefully there's some way to find it through some official outlet.
Dr. William Paulson has published a couple of recent paper's on Kneser's analytic tetration solution for bases>exp(1/e).

James Nison's approach only applies to real bases less than exp(1/e) where Tetration is bounded. For real valued bases<exp(1/e), you can use the real fixed point and use Schröder's equation to define the behavior of the iterated function in the neighborhood of the fixed points. This is a much simpler problem then Kneser's solution.
