The Lambert-Tsallis Wq Function

Statistical Mechanics 2019-05-01 v1

Abstract

In the present work, we introduce the Lambert-Tsallis Wq function. It is a generalization of the Lambert W function, that solves the equation Wq(x)expq(Wq(x)) = x, where expq(x) is the q-exponential used by Tsallis in nonextensive statistical mechanics. We show its numerical calculation and some applications.
