Lambert W-Function: Problem: W e X, Find W (X) - ? Solution: The Lambert W-Function

The Lambert W-function has numerous applications, including: 1) Describing the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in a diode. 2) Modeling the motion of a projectile in the presence of air resistance. 3) Applications in statistical mechanics, quantum chemistry, and many other fields. The function was discovered in the 18th century as the inverse function of f(x) = xex and has since found uses in physics, chemistry, mathematics, and other areas.

W(1) = 0.56714 is called the omega
constant and can be considered a sort
of "golden ratio" of exponents.

The Lambert W -function has the series expansion!

The General Problem :

The General Solution :


Lambert W-Function has numerous
applications:
1) Banwell and Jayakumar (2000) showed that a W-function describes the
relation between voltage, current and resistance in a diode
2) Packel and Yuen (2004) applied the W -function to a ballistic projectile in the
presence of air resistance.
3) Other applications have been discovered in:
statistical mechanics, quantum chemistry, combinatorics, enzyme kinetics,
physiology of vision, engineering of thin films, hydrology,
analysis of algorithms (Hayes 2005) , and solar wind.

The Isothermal Solar Wind Problem :

where v is the outflow velocity of the wind, which is


the quantity we wish to solve for, r is the distance
(measured here from the center of the Sun), a is the
speed of sound in the outer solar atmosphere, which
is proportional to the temperature of the gas, and
which we assume to be constant. Also, rc is the so-
called ``Parker critical-point distance'' where the wind
accelerates past the sound speed:
