Hyperfactorial

In mathematics, the hyperfactorial is a certain function on natural numbers that is related to the factorial. Generally written as H(n), it is defined as

H(n)=\prod_{k=1}^n k^k.

For n = 1, 2, 3, 4,... the values of H(n) are 1, 4, 108, 27648,... (sequence A002109 in OEIS).

The hyperfactorial function is similar to the factorial, but produces larger numbers. The rate of growth of this function, however, is not much larger than a regular factorial.

The hyperfactorial function can be generalized to complex numbers in a similar way as the factorial function; the resulting function is called the K-function.
