Comments

The largest k^(1/k), for any natural number k, occurs when k = 3 = A000227(1). - Stanislav Sykora, Jun 04 2014

3^(1/3) is also the Kolmogorov constant C(3,2) in the case supremum norm on the real line. - Jean-François Alcover, Jul 17 2014

(1/3)*log(3) = -lim_{n->oo} (n-th derivative zeta(n+1)) / ((n-1)-th derivative zeta(n)) = 0.3662040962227... Convergence is to 25 digits by n = ~1000. zeta is the Riemann zeta function. - Richard R. Forberg, Feb 24 2015
