Title
A sequence of series for the Lambert W function
Abstract
We give a uniform treatment of several series expansions forthe Lambert W function, leading to an infinite family of newseries. We also discuss standardization, complex branches, afamily of arbitrary-order iterative methods for computationof W , and give a theorem showing how to correctly solveanother simple and frequently occurring nonlinear equationin terms of W and the unwinding number.1 IntroductionInvestigations of the properties of the Lambert W functionare good examples of...
