Abstract

In the paper the infinite power towers which are generated by an algebraic numbers belonging to the closed interval [1, e^{\frac{1}{e}}] are investigated and an answer is given to the question when they are transcendental or rational numbers. Also a necessary condition for an infinite power tower to be an irrational algebraic number is proposed.
