| Apr 13, 2015 at 6:15 | comment | added | David Zhang | I really don't understand why this question has been placed on hold. If asking for the notation for the all-ones vector is a valid question for MO, I don't see why this isn't. | |
| Apr 10, 2015 at 23:14 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | @Mirko, I think the dynamical system given by the logarithm is not very interesting. I doubt there is a paper in the dynamical systems literature where anyone has used a 4-times iterated logarithm. | |

| Apr 10, 2015 at 15:14 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | ... meaning, four logs is for lumberjacks, real research has infinitely many. | |

| Apr 10, 2015 at 12:54 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | @Andreas, where, other than in research papers on analytic number theory, is one likely to come across $\log\log\log\log x$? | |
