COMMENTS

See A202348 for a guide to related sequences. The Mathematica program includes a graph.

Also the only solution of x=I^(x*I), since I^I = exp(-Pi/2). Also the infinite power tower (tetration) of I^I, i.e., the convergent sequence I^(I*I^(I*I^(...(I*I^I)...))). Also LambertW(Pi/2)/(Pi/2). - Stanislav Sykora, Nov 06 2013
