Re: [math-fun] esoterica -- meeting on Lambert function

2 Jun 2016

      Thanks. I vastly prefer the Lambert W function when it is not defined with a branch cut but is allowed to extend to it full Lambertness on a Riemann surface.

Whether considering the Lambert function or the more simply defined function of which it is the inverse function:

   f(z)  =  z exp(z),

the aforesaid Riemann surface is just the subset of C^2 defined as

   {(z,w)  |  z = w exp(w)}.

This is, in my opinion, the appropriate object of study.
