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/
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
