Abstract

In a recent paper "Solvability of equations in elementary functions" [arXiv:1911.10409] the insolvability in elementary functions of equation $\tan(x) - x = a$ was proved. This work applies the same topological method to prove the insolvability of equation $x^x = a$.<br />Comment: 6 pages
