The full width at half maximum (FWHM) is a useful quantity for characterizing the bandwidth of unimodal functions. However, a closed-form expression for the FWHM of gamma-shaped functions-i.e. functions that are shaped like the gamma…
We consider a particular generalized Lambert function, $y(x)$, defined by the implicit equation $y^\beta = 1 - e^{-xy}$, with $x>0$ and $ \beta > 1$. Solutions to this equation can be found in terms of a certain continued exponential.…
In this work, the Lambert-Tsallis Wq function is used to provide analytical solutions of fractional polynomials of the type ax^r+bx^s+c = 0. This class of fractional polynomial appears in several areas of physics as well it is in the heart…

Originating from a system theory and an input/output point of view, I introduce a new class of generalized distributions. A parametric nonlinear transformation converts a random variable $X$ into a so-called Lambert $W$ random variable $Y$,…
Measuring attenuation coefficients is a fundamental problem that can be solved with diverse techniques such as X-ray or optical tomography and lidar. We propose a novel approach based on the observation of a sample from a few different…
Transcendental functions, such as exponentials and logarithms, appear in a broad array of computational domains: from simulations in curvilinear coordinates, to interpolation, to machine learning. Unfortunately they are typically expensive…
In my 2011 Annals of Applied Statistics article [Goerg (2011)] I wrote that "Whereas the Lambert $W$ function plays an important role in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and other fields, it has not yet been used in statistics."…
Several distributions and families of distributions are proposed to model skewed data, think, e.g., of skew-normal and related distributions. Lambert W random variables offer an alternative approach where, instead of constructing a new…
