In the context of positive reals consider$\DeclareMathOperator{\arcsinh}{arcsinh}$
$$ w= \arcsinh( 1 + 2 \arcsinh( 1 + 2^2 \arcsinh ( 1 + 2^{2^2} \arcsinh( 1 + 2^{2^{2^2}} \arcsinh( 1 + \dotsm $$
Now consider a real $A > w$
Then the iterations
$A_0 = A$
$A_1 = (\sinh(A) - 1)/2 $
$A_2 = (\sinh(A_1) - 1)/ 2^2 $
$...$
grow superexponentially ! (Tetration)
Reals $B$ in $[0,w[ $ do not give a sequence $B_n$ ( same iterations as above ) that grows to infinity.
So the interesting things are
1) the value of $w$
2) How fast does the sequence
$w_0 = w $
$w_1 = (\sinh(w_0) - 1 ) / 2 $
$ ...$
grow ?
Could it be slower than superexponential ?
Consider the analogue
$$ 3 = \sqrt{1 + 2 \sqrt{ 1 + 3 \sqrt{ 1 + 4 \sqrt {...}}}} $$
Where the iterations $c_1 = 3, c_n = ( c_{n-1}^2 - 1) / n $ give the sequence $3,4,5,6,7,...$ rather than a double exponential growth ( as expected at first ).
Unfortunately tetration-like ideas tend to give Numbers too large for computation, If we are not careful. So we need a trick or some theory probably.
I tried to compute $w$ and arrived at the estimate
$$ w = 2.613\,022\,592\,281\,8\!\dots $$
This Number might be wrong but this is my guess. Also the number seems familiar but that may be my imagination.
Is there an efficient way to compute $w$ ?
Are my digits correct ?
And the main question again :
How fast does $w_n$ grow ??
