Given the following, and assuming that $f(x)$ is infinitely differentiable:
$$fracd^nf(x)dx^n|_x=0=f(n)$$
What functions f could satisfy this equation? Do any functions of f have a closed form, or if not does it have a form that is just a normal ODE form?

    From what you've written it looks like: $$f(x=n)=f^(n)(0)$$ I've written $x=n$ to show that we are primarily defining $f$ in terms of $x$ which applies of the right. However you could also say: $$f(n)=f^(n)(0)$$

Let $f(x)=a^x+1$, where $a$ satisfies $ln(a)=a$. Then $f^(n)(0)=ln^n(a) a^1=a^n+1=f(n)$, as desired. Note that $a$ will be a complex number here, explicitly in terms of Lambert’s W: $a=e^-W(-1)approx 0.318+1.337i$.
