Lambert W function
Lambert’s function is the inverse of the function given by . That is, is the complex valued function that satisfies
for all . In practice the definition of requires a branch cut, which is usually taken along the negative real axis. Lambert’s W function is sometimes also called product log function.
This function allow us to solve the functional equation
since
