You can't define it without the Lambert W function, which is defined as the inverse function to the function that sends x to xe^x. The you can describe that curve by y = W(-log(x)/x)x/log(x). (The logarithms are base e, naturally.)muzik wrote:What is the equation of the curve present in x^y=y^x?

That would be y = W(-ln(x)/x)x/ln(x).Macbi wrote:You can't define it without the Lambert W function, which is defined as the inverse function to the function that sends x to xe^x.

Re: Things You've Been Doing Other Than CGoL
Most mathematicians I know use "log" to mean base e (or base 2 in information theory or computer science). Using "log" to mean base 10 is uncool because 10 is just an arbitrary number with no mathematical significance. So I avoid using "ln" because if I did use it I'd be worried that people would think that I had deliberately avoided using "log", and that therefore I must be the uncool kind of person who thinks that "log" means base 10.wwei23 wrote:That would be y = W(-ln(x)/x)x/ln(x).Macbi wrote:You can't define it without the Lambert W function, which is defined as the inverse function to the function that sends x to xe^x.

Re: Things You've Been Doing Other Than CGoL
I managed to solve a rubik's cube in my left hand while simultaneously juggling two balls in my right hand. It took 2 minutes and 31 seconds. That was after about 15 tries.
Has any one else tried something like this before, or at least attempted to perform two skills/hobbies at once? Another one I recently did was fold a fairly neat paper crane in my left hand while juggling two balls in my right.
Next, I need to try doing it juggling rubik's cubes not balls, or with a 4x4 (I doubt that one)

...but ln has 2 letters while log has 3...

There's some very recent prior art. Que Jianyu solved three 3x3 cubes while juggling them, in just over five minutes.Gamedziner wrote:How about solving the Rubik's cube while juggling it?Goldtiger997 wrote:Next, I need to try doing it juggling rubik's cubes not balls, or with a 4x4 (I doubt that one) :D
At the latest Gathering for Gardner I saw people solving cubes blindfolded, solving them with just their feet, and so on, but I didn't see any cube jugglers... I can juggle, and I can solve Rubik's Cubes, but I must say I'm not too tempted to try combining the two.

Re: Things You've Been Doing Other Than CGoL
Right now there's a total lunar eclipse in Poland. But the clouds are hiding the moon and I'm missing something that happens once in a lifetime.
EDIT: It's over. Now it's visible, but only partial

I don't get to see it at all, the moon will be under the horizon the entire time.gameoflifemaniac wrote:Right now there's a total lunar eclipse in Poland. But the clouds are hiding the moon and I'm missing something that happens once in a lifetime.

Luckily, lunar eclipses aren't really "once in a lifetime", more "once in a few years".gameoflifemaniac wrote:Right now there's a total lunar eclipse in Poland. But the clouds are hiding the moon and I'm missing something that happens once in a lifetime.
