A226573 Decimal expansion of lim_{k->oo} f(k), where f(1)=e, and f(k) = e - log(f(k-1)) for k>1. 4

%N Decimal expansion of lim_{k->oo} f(k), where f(1)=e, and f(k) = e - log(f(k-1)) for k>1.

%C Old definition was: Decimal digits of limit(f(n)), where f(1) = e-log(e), f(n) = f(f(n-1)).

%C Let f(x) be lesser of the two solutions of s - log(s) = x; then A226571 represents f(e). [See however the comments in A226571. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Dec 09 2017]
