Observations regarding the repetition of the last digits of a tetration of generic base

Abstract

This paper investigates the behavior of the last digits of a tetration of generic base. In fact, last digits of a tetration are the same starting from a certain hyper-exponent and in order to compute them we reduce those expressions $\mathrm{mod}10^n$. Very surprisingly (although unproved) I think that the repetition of the last digits depend on the residue $\mathrm{mod}10$ of the base and on the exponents of a particular way to express that base. Then I'll discuss about the results and I'll show different tables and examples in order to support my conjecture. We are very near to a proof for a formula which finds the minimum hyper-exponent $u$ of a tetration with a generic base $q$ such that the last $n$ digits of the tetration starting from the $u$-th one are the same.
