Lambert W function

Multivalued function in mathematics

In mathematics, the Lambert W function, also called the omega function or product logarithm, is a multivalued function, namely the branches of the converse relation of the function f ( w) = w e w {\displaystyle f(w)=we^{w}} , where w {\displaystyle w} is any complex number and e w {\displaystyle e^{w}} is the exponential function. The function is named after Johann Lambert, who considered a related problem in 1758. Building on Lambert's work, Leonhard Euler described the W function per se in 1783.
