朗伯W函數 (英語:Lambert W function ,又稱為歐米加函數 或乘積對數 ),是
f
(
w
)
=
w
e
w
{\displaystyle f(w)=we^{w}}
的反函數 ,其中
e
w
{\displaystyle e^{w}}
是指數函數 ,
w
{\displaystyle w}
是任意複數 。對於任何複數
z
{\displaystyle z}
,都有:
z
=
W
(
z
)
e
W
(
z
)
.
{\displaystyle z=W(z)e^{W(z)}.}
由於函數
f
{\displaystyle f}
不是單射 ,因此函數
W
{\displaystyle W}
是多值 的(除了0以外)。如果我們把
x
{\displaystyle x}
限制為實數,並要求
w
{\displaystyle w}
是實數,那麼函數僅對於
x
≥
1
e
{\displaystyle x\geq {\frac {1}{e}}}
有定義,在
(
−
1
e
,
0
)
{\displaystyle (-{\frac {1}{e}},0)}
內是多值的;如果加上
w
≥
−
1
{\displaystyle w\geq -1}
的限制,則定義了一個單值函數
W
0
(
x
)
{\displaystyle W_{0}(x)}
(見圖)。我們有
W
0
(
0
)
=
0
{\displaystyle W_{0}(0)=0}
,
W
0
(

=

{\displaystyle W_{0}(-{\frac {1}{e}})=-1}
。而在

,
0

{\displaystyle [-{\frac {1}{e}},0)}
內的
w
≤
−

{\displaystyle w\leq -1}
分支,則記為

{\displaystyle W_{-1}(x)}
,從

函數不能用初等函數 來表示。它在組合數學 中有許多用途,例如樹 的計算。它可以用來解許多含有指數的方程,也出現在某些微分方程 的解中,例如

=

y
(

)
{\displaystyle y(t)=ay(t-1)}
。

Lambert W 函數之一般化[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] 包括:
一項在低維空間內廣義相對論 與量子力學 的應用(量子引力 ),實際上一種以前未知的 連結 於此二區域中,如 「Journal of Classical and Quantum Gravity」[ 4] 所示其 (1) 的右邊式現為二維多項式 x:

{\displaystyle e^{-cx}=a_{o}(x-r_{1})(x-r_{2})~~\qquad \qquad (2)}
其中 r 1 和 r 2 是不同實常數,為二維多項式的根。於此函數解有單一引數 x 但 r i 和 a o 為函數的參數。如此一來,此一般式類似於 「hypergeometric」(超幾何分佈)函數與 「Meijer G「,但屬於不同類函數。當 r 1 = r 2 ,(2)的兩方可分解為 (1) 因此其解簡化為標準 W 函數。(2)式代表着 「dilaton」(軸子 )場的方程,可據此推導線性,雙體重力問題 1+1 維(一空間維與一時間維)當兩不等(靜止)質量,以及,量子力學的特徵能Delta位勢阱 給不等電位於一維空間。

其中 r i 與 s i 是相異實常數而 x 是特徵能和內核距離R之函數。式 (3) 與其特例表示於 (1) 和 (2) 是與一更大類型延遲微分方程 。由於哈代 的「虛假導數」概念,多根的特殊情況得以解決[ 6] 。
Lambert "W" 函數於基礎物理問題之應用並未完全即使標準情況如 (1) 最近在原子,分子,與光學物理領域可見[ 7] 以及黎曼假設 的 Keiper-Li 準則 [ 8]
