%N Decimal expansion of smaller solution to 3^x = x^3.

%C The larger solution is of course 3.

%C Also, the limit of infinite tetration a^a^...^a of a=3^(1/3) (=A002581), i.e., lim_{n->oo} x(n) where x(n+1)=a^x(n), x(1)=a. - _M. F. Hasler_, Nov 03 2013

%C The constant is transcendental (Vassilev-Missana, p. 23). - _Peter Bala_, Jan 01 2014
