An Epsilon number is a type of large ordinal number in set theory that is defined as a limit ordinal that is equal to its own limit ordinal function. Specifically, an ordinal \(\epsilon\) is called an Epsilon number if it satisfies the equation: \[ \epsilon = \omega^{\epsilon} \] where \(\omega\) is the first infinite ordinal, corresponding to the set of all natural numbers.
