Lambert W Calculator

Q: Is this a second special-functions engine?

No. It is mode=lambert_w on math.special, the same engine as /calc/math/special-functions.

Q: Does this compute W_{-1}?

W_{-1} is on /calc/math/lambert-w-minus-1 for −1/e ≤ x < 0. This page is the principal real branch W_0. Not CAS.

Q: Where does this run?

Locally in the browser by default. REST and MCP call the same special-functions engine.

Principal real W_0(x) for x ≥ −1/e. Same engine as Special Functions. Not incomplete beta. Not CAS. Runs locally.

DefinitionW(x) e^{W(x)} = x

Branch pointW_0(−1/e) = −1

iSame engine as /special-functions. Not a second engine. Not /omega. Incomplete beta and normalized sinc later on this engine.

How to use

Enter x

Finite real x ≥ −1/e. Default x=1 (Ω constant).

Read W_0(x)

W_0(1) ≈ 0.56714329041. W_0(e)=1. The Live graph shows y = W₀(x) for x ≥ −1/e.
