$${if}\:{something}\:{is}\:\infty,\:{you}\:{may}\:{not} \\ $$$${treat}\:{it}\:{as}\:{a}\:“{normal}''{value},\:{otherwise} \\ $$$${we}\:{would}\:{get}\:{things}\:{like} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}×\infty=\infty \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}×\infty=\infty \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{1}×\infty=\mathrm{2}×\infty \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{1}×\infty}{\infty}=\frac{\mathrm{2}×\infty}{\infty} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$

$$\left({e}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{e}}} \right)^{{x}} ={x} \\ $$$${lnx}−\frac{{x}}{{e}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)={lnx}−\frac{{x}}{{e}} \\ $$$${f}'\left({x}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{e}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}={e} \\ $$$${f}''\left({x}\right)=−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }<\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${e}\:{is}\:{the}\:{maximum}\:{value}\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\therefore\left({e}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{e}}} \right)^{\left({e}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{e}}} \right)^{…} } ={e} \\ $$

$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{claim}\:\mathrm{for}\:{x}>\mathrm{0}:{y}={x}^{{x}^{{x}^{…} } } <\infty\:\Leftrightarrow\:{x}\leqslant\mathrm{e}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{e}}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$

$${x}=\left(\mathrm{e}^{\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}} \right)^{…} \\ $$$$\mathrm{ln}\:{x}\:=\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}{x}\:\Leftrightarrow\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}{x}−\mathrm{ln}\:{x}\:=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)=\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}{x}−\mathrm{ln}\:{x} \\ $$$${f}'\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow\:{x}=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\pi} \\ $$$${f}''\left(\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\pi}\right)>\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{absolute}\:\mathrm{minimum}\:\mathrm{at}\:\begin{pmatrix}{\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\pi}}\\{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{ln}\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}}\end{pmatrix} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{no}\:\mathrm{zero}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{no}\:\mathrm{solution} \\ $$
