  2. Lambert W function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_W_function

    The product logarithm Lambert W function plotted in the complex plane from −2 − 2i to 2 + 2i The graph of y = W(x) for real x < 6 and y > −4. The upper branch (blue) with y ≥ −1 is the graph of the function W 0 (principal branch), the lower branch (magenta) with y ≤ −1 is the graph of the function W −1. The minimum value of x is ...

    This is a list of special function eponyms in mathematics, to cover the theory of special functions, ... Johann Heinrich Lambert: Lambert W function; Gabriel Lam ...

  4. Omega constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_constant

    It is the value of W(1), where W is Lambert's W function. The name is derived from the alternate name for Lambert's W function, the omega function. The numerical value of Ω is given by Ω = 0.56714 32904 09783 87299 99686 62210... (sequence A030178 in the OEIS). 1/Ω = 1.76322 28343 51896 71022 52017 76951... (sequence A030797 in the OEIS).

  5. List of physical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured.

  6. Lambert's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert's_problem

    The time of flight is related to other variables by Lambert's theorem, which states: The transfer time of a body moving between two points on a conic trajectory is a function only of the sum of the distances of the two points from the origin of the force, the linear distance between the points, and the semimajor axis of the conic. [2]

  7. Tetration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetration

    where W represents Lambert's W function. As the limit y = ∞ x (if existent on the positive real line, i.e. for e −e ≤ x ≤ e 1/e) must satisfy x y = y we see that x ↦ y = ∞ x is (the lower branch of) the inverse function of y ↦ x = y 1/y.

  8. List of mathematical functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_functions

    In mathematics, some functions or groups of functions are important enough to deserve their own names. This is a listing of articles which explain some of these functions in more detail. There is a large theory of special functions which developed out of statistics and mathematical physics.

  9. Michaelis–Menten kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michaelis–Menten_kinetics

    A decade before Michaelis and Menten, Victor Henri found that enzyme reactions could be explained by assuming a binding interaction between the enzyme and the substrate. [11] His work was taken up by Michaelis and Menten, who investigated the kinetics of invertase , an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose ...
