Explicit plot of exponential to base $b\!=\!\sqrt{2} \approx 1.414213562373095$

The thick curve: $y=\exp_b(x)$.

The thin line shows the identical funciton, $y\!=\!x$.

The fixed points $L\!=\!2$ and $L\!=\!4$ are solutions of the equation

$\exp_b(L)=L$

for $b=\sqrt{2}$.

Any of these fixed points can be used to construct a superexponential to base $\sqrt{2}~$ ^[1].
