Values of The Gimel Function
The gimel function has the property for all infinite cardinals κ by König's theorem.
For regular cardinals, and Easton's theorem says we don't know much about the values of this function. For singular, upper bounds for can be found from Shelah's PCF theory.

Famous quotes containing the words values and/or function:
“We must be physicists in order ... to be creative since so far codes of values and ideals have been constructed in ignorance of physics or even in contradiction to physics.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Uses are always much broader than functions, and usually far less contentious. The word function carries overtones of purpose and propriety, of concern with why something was developed rather than with how it has actually been found useful. The function of automobiles is to transport people and objects, but they are used for a variety of other purposes—as homes, offices, bedrooms, henhouses, jetties, breakwaters, even offensive weapons.”
—Frank Smith (b. 1928)
