Table of n, a(n) for n=1..101.

Jonathan Sondow, Diego Marques, Algebraic and transcendental solutions of some exponential equations, Annales Mathematicae et Informaticae 37 (2010) 151-164.

Formula

x0 = -((x*ProductLog(-1, -(log(x)/x)))/log(x)), with x = 3/2, where ProductLog is the Lambert W function.

Example

x0 = 7.408764686965774521957295028510614389804171141074...
z = x0^(3/2) = 20.16595073003535058942970947434890012034363496 ...
z > e^e = 15.15426224... = A073226.

Mathematica

x0 = -((x*ProductLog[-1, -(Log[x]/x)])/Log[x]) /. x -> 3/2; RealDigits[x0, 10, 101] // First
