The Lambert W function is a multi-valued function defined as the inverse function of x ↦ x e x . Besides numerous applications in combinatorics, physics, and engineering, it also frequently occurs when solving equations containing both e x and x , or both x and log x . This article provides a definition of the two real-valued branches W 0 ( x ) and W -1 ( x ) and proves various properties such as basic identities and inequalities, monotonicity, differentiability, asymptotic expansions, and the MacLaurin series of W 0 ( x ) at x = 0.
