Term for repeated exponentiation?

65 Views Asked by At

Is there a term (or operation) for repeated exponentiation?

I.e. Repeated addition is multiplication, repeated multiplication is exponentiation, repeated exponentiation is X?

Is there even such a term for such a "higher order" operation, seeing as we could potentially deal with this by increasing the exponent?

The word you are looking for is probably tetration

at least if you are looking for something like $$\underbrace{a^{(a^{(\cdot^{\cdot^{a)\cdots)}}}}}_n$$
