COMMENTS

Given z > 0, there exist positive real numbers x < y, with x^y = y^x = z, if and only if z > e^e. In that case, 1 < x < e < y and (x,y) = ((1 + 1/t)^t,(1 + 1/t)^(t+1)) for some t > 0. (For example, t = 1 gives 2^4 = 4^2 = 16 > e^e.) Proofs of these classical results and applications of them are in Sondow and Marques (2010).
