Inverse of the $y=x^x$ in implicit form?

41 Views Asked by At

I want to find the inverse of the function $y=x^x$ in implicit form and not by using Lambert W function. Can you tell me how to find it?

Thanks.

The Lambert $W$ function was precisely introduced to solve the equation

$$y=xe^x$$ and those that can reduce to that form, such as

$$\log y=\log x\,e^{\log x}.$$

That essentially means that there is no other way.
