Find the intersection point of an infinite power tower and a primorial

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The intersection point of the infinite power tower function, defined as ##f(x) = {^{\infty}x} = x \uparrow \uparrow \infty##, and the primorial function ##g(x) = p_x##, where ##p_x## represents the product of the first ##x## prime numbers, is determined within the bounds of ##e^{-e} < x < e^{1/e}##. The discussion emphasizes the need for a precise estimation of both ##m## and ##f(m)##, accurate to five significant figures. Additionally, it raises questions about the definition of the primorial function for non-integer values and the methodology for curve fitting to achieve the best estimation.

TL;DR
Find the point of intersection between ##f(x) = {^{\infty}x} = x \uparrow \uparrow \infty## and ##g(x)=p_{x}###
Consider ##f(x) = {^{\infty}x} = x \uparrow \uparrow \infty## and ##g(x)=p_{x}###, where ##p_x### is the primorial function and is defined such that ##p_n### is the product of the first ##n## prime numbers. For example, ##p_{4}### ##= 2×3×5×7=210##

Let the point of intersection be defined as ##(m, f(m))##; determine the value of both ##m## and ##f(m)## correct to five significant figures.

I think power tower is defined and finite for e^{-e}&lt;x&lt;e^{1/e}. How g(x) is defined for x in this region?
 
How do you define the primorial for non-integers?

Im looking for the best estimation using a curve fitting.
