Abstract
This paper investigates the generalized convexity properties of the Lambert function, defined as the solution to . Focusing on -convexity and concavity with respect to H\"older means, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for to exhibit strict -convexity or concavity on the interval . The main result characterizes these properties in terms of specific parameter regions -plane. Inequalities involving harmonic, geometric, and arithmetic means are established, with equalities holding only when .
