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 ...
Suppose z is defined as a function of w by an equation of the form = where f is analytic at a point a and ′ Then it is possible to invert or solve the equation for w, expressing it in the form = given by a power series [1]
In fact, the set of functions with a convergent Taylor series is a meager set in the Fréchet space of smooth functions. Even if the Taylor series of a function f does converge, its limit need not be equal to the value of the function f (x). For example, the function
For a smooth function, the Taylor polynomial is the truncation at the order of the Taylor series of the function. The first-order Taylor polynomial is the linear approximation of the function, and the second-order Taylor polynomial is often referred to as the quadratic approximation. [1] There are several versions of Taylor's theorem, some ...
The omega constant is a mathematical constant defined as the unique real number that satisfies the equation = 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
One of the main applications of this function is in the resolution of the equation z = ln(z), as the only solution is given by z = e −ω(π i).. y = ω(z) is the unique solution, when for x ≤ −1, of the equation y + ln(y) = z.
The standard Lambert W function expresses exact solutions to what is called ``transcendental algebraic equations of the form:. exp(-c*x) = a_o*(x-r) where a_o, c, and r are real constants.
This is a list of special function eponyms in mathematics, to cover the theory of special functions, the differential equations they satisfy, named differential operators of the theory (but not intended to include every mathematical eponym).
