We consider a sequence of polynomials appearing in expressions for the derivatives of the Lambert W function. The coefficients of each polynomial are shown to form a positive sequence that is log-concave and unimodal. This property implies…

Eigenvalue assignment problem of a linear scalar system with a single discrete delay is analytically and exactly solved. The existence condition of the desired eigenvalue is established when the current and delay states are present in the…

Mathieu functions of period $\pi$ or $2\pi$, also called elliptic cylinder functions, were introduced in 1868 by \'Emile Mathieu together with so-called modified Mathieu functions, in order to help understand the vibrations of an elastic…

We establish a rigorous mathematical framework connecting graphene nanoribbon quantum sensing to the Lambert W function through the finite square well (FSW) analogy. The Lambert W function, defined as the inverse of $f(W) = We^W$, provides…

$E$-functions were introduced by Siegel in 1929 to generalize Diophantine properties of the exponential function. After developments of Siegel's methods by Shidlovskii, Nesterenko and Andr\'e, Beukers proved in 2006 an optimal result on the…

It is well-known that the two-parameter Mittag-Leffler (ML) function plays a key role in Fractional Calculus. In this paper, we address the problem of computing this function, when its argument is a square matrix. Effective methods for…

We consider relations between the pairs of sequences, $(f, g_f)$, generated by the Lambert series expansions, $L_f(q) = \sum_{n \geq 1} f(n) q^n / (1-q^n)$, in $q$. In particular, we prove new forms of recurrence relations and matrix…
