COMMENTS
The tetration x^^n is defined recursively: x^^0 = 1, x^^n = x^(x^^(n-1)). For x in [e^(-e), e^(1/e)] there is a limit x^^inf = limit_{n->inf} x^^n = e^(-W(-log x)), where W(z) is the Lambert W-function. The tetration approaches this limit exponentially: x^^n = x^^inf - f(x)*log(x^^inf)^n + O(log(x^^inf)^(2*n)), where the coefficient f(x) = lim_{n->inf} (x^^inf - x^^n)/log(x^^inf)^n depends on x. This sequence gives the e.g.f. expansion of f(x) around x = 1.
