Insolvability of xx = a in elementary functions

Abstract

In a recent paper "Solvability of equations in elementary functions" [arXiv:1911.10409] the insolvability in elementary functions of equation (x) - x = a was proved. This work applies the same topological method to prove the insolvability of equation xx = a.
