scipy.special.wrightomega

scipy.special.wrightomega(z, out=None) = <ufunc 'wrightomega'>

Wright Omega function.

Defined as the solution to

\[\omega + \log(\omega) = z\]

where \(\log\) is the principal branch of the complex logarithm.

Parameters:

z : array_like

Points at which to evaluate the Wright Omega function

Returns:

omega : ndarray

Values of the Wright Omega function

The Lambert W function

Notes

New in version 0.19.0.

The function can also be defined as

\[\omega(z) = W_{K(z)}(e^z)\]

where \(K(z) = \lceil (\Im(z) - \pi)/(2\pi) \rceil\) is the unwinding number and \(W\) is the Lambert W function.

The implementation here is taken from [R534].
