COMMENTS
A000081(m) distinct functions are representable as x^x^...^x with m>=1 x's and parentheses inserted in all possible ways. Some functions are representable in more than one way, the number of valid parenthesizations is A000108(m-1). The f_k are ordered, such that the number m of x's in f_k is a nondecreasing function of k. The exact ordering is defined by the algorithm below.
The list of functions f_1, f_2, ... begins:
| f_k : m : function (tree) : representation(s) : sequence |
+-----+---+------------------+--------------------------+----------+
| f_1 | 1 | x -> x | x | A019590 |
| f_2 | 2 | x -> x^x | x^x | A005727 |
| f_3 | 3 | x -> x^(x*x) | (x^x)^x | A215524 |
| f_4 | 3 | x -> x^(x^x) | x^(x^x) | A179230 |
| f_5 | 4 | x -> x^(x*x*x) | ((x^x)^x)^x | A215704 |
| f_6 | 4 | x -> x^(x^x*x) | (x^x)^(x^x), (x^(x^x))^x | A215522 |
| f_7 | 4 | x -> x^(x^(x*x)) | x^((x^x)^x) | A215705 |
| f_8 | 4 | x -> x^(x^(x^x)) | x^(x^(x^x)) | A179405 |
