How would one go about expressing/plotting the infinite "power tower" function f(x)=x^(x^(x^...))? I am not finding much information with search/google. Thank you.

The infinite power tower function can be represented in terms of the "Lambert W" special function which is implemented in Sage as lambert_w. See equation (13) of this Mathworld article.
