In summary, for a general n, the domain of the function ln^(n)(x) is the set of all real x greater than e^(e^...^e^e), where there are n-2 terms in the parentheses. The logarithm goes from x>e to the original domain, and to the domains of the iterations. The function ln^(n)(x) is equal to the power tower of n exponents of e.

Homework Statement
Find the natural domain of the function ln composed with itself n times.
Relevant Equations
ln(x) is defined only for x>0.
For n=1 (ln(ln(x))), the domain is the set of all real x>1 ;
for n=2, the domain is the set of all real x>e ;
for n=3, the domain is the set of all real x>e^e ;
for n=4, the domain is the set of all real x>e^(e^e)
...Thus, for a general n the domain is the set of all real x greater than e^(e^...^e^e) ,where there are n-2 terms in the parentheses.
(Sorry if this is confusing, I'm still trying to figure out LATEX.)

You should first figure out from where to where the logarithm goes: from to get the original domain, to because these are the domains of the iterations. Which values can you feed the logarithm with?

Then try to figure out what ##\log^n(x)## does.

And by the way, ##\log^1(x)=\log(x)##.

Here is explained how you can type formulas on PF: https://www.physicsforums.com/help/latexhelp/
