This is what I want to write:

Apparently, the following doesn't work

\sqrt[ \sqrt[\log n]{n} ]{x}

The error is that the argument of \sqrt has an extra }. This seems like a bug to me. Is there a way to write this symbol?

Put the second \sqrt into {...}.

Edit: I've added a possible alternative to the monster.

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage{mathtools} 
\begin{document} 
    \[ 
    \sqrt[{\sqrt[\log n]{n}}]{x} 
    \]
I prefer this possibile alternative:
    \[
    {x}^{{\bigl[{n}^{{(\log n)}^{-1}}\bigr]^{-1}}}
    \]
\end{document}

  • I know of this alternative, but i wanted to specifically emphasize the root sign. Your original answer is perfectly fine. This one is a welcome addition of course. – KeyC0de Mar 30 '17 at 20:28

    @RestlessC0bra There's a reason for creating the monster, then, hahaha! – CarLaTeX Mar 30 '17 at 20:30
