After defining in detail the Lambert $W$-function branches, we give a large number of exact identities involving (infinite) symmetric functions of these branches, as well as geometrically convergent series for all the branches. In doing so,…

Solutions to a wide variety of transcendental equations can be expressed in terms of the Lambert $\mathrm{W}$ function. The $\mathrm{W}$ function, occurring frequently in applications, is a non-elementary, but now standard mathematical…

The $\psi(x)$-function, which solves the equation $x = \sinh(aw)e^w$ for $0<a<1$, has a natural connection to the renowned Lambert $W$ function and also physical relevance through its connection to the Lenz-Ising model of ferromagnetism. We…

We study some series expansions for the Lambert $W$ function. We show that known asymptotic series converge in both real and complex domains. We establish the precise domains of convergence and other properties of the series, including…

The Lambert W function, implicitly defined by W(x) exp{W(x)}=x, is a "new" special function that has recently been the subject of an extended upsurge in interest and applications. In this note, I point out that the Lambert W function can…

Employing the Lagrange inverting series, a solution of the transcendental equation $(x-a)(x-b)=le^{x}$, that can be considered a quadratic generalization of the equation defining Lambert $W$ function, has been found in terms of Bessel…

We study some sequences of polynomials that appear when we consider the successive derivatives of the tree function (or Lambert's W function). We show in particular that they are related with a generalization of Cayley trees, called Greg…

Based on a Problem and its solution published on the pages of SIAM Review, we give an interesting integral representation for the Lambert $W$ function in this short note. In particular, our result yields a new integral representation for…

We study monic univariate polynomials whose coefficients are analytic functions of a real variable and whose roots lie in a specified analytic curve. These include characteristic polynomials of unitary and hermitian matrices whose entries…

We show that many functions containing $W$ are Stieltjes functions. Explicit Stieltjes integrals are given for functions $1/W(z)$, $W(z)/z$, and others. We also prove a generalization of a conjecture of Jackson, Procacci & Sokal. Integral…

We study enumeration functions for unimodal sequences of positive integers, where the size of a sequence is the sum of its terms. We survey known results for a number of natural variants of unimodal sequences, including Auluck's generalized…

This note defines a family of Laurent polynomials (indexed in the rational projective line) which generalize the Markoff numbers and relate to the character variety of the one-cusped torus. We describe which monomials appear in each…

Using a known recursive formula for the Grothendieck classes of the moduli spaces $\overline{\mathcal M}_{0,n}$, we prove that they satisfy an asymptotic form of ultra-log-concavity as polynomials in the Lefschetz class. We also observe…

We define Bernstein-Sato polynomials for meromorphic functions and study their basic properties. In particular, we prove a Kashiwara-Malgrange type theorem on their geometric monodromies, which would be useful also in relation with the…
