Wright omega function

(Redirected from Wright Omega function)

In mathematics, the Wright omega function or Wright function,[note 1] denoted ω, is defined in terms of the Lambert W function as:

The Wright omega function along part of the real axis

Uses

edit

One of the main applications of this function is in the resolution of the equation z = ln(z), as the only solution is given by z = e−ω(π i).

y = ω(z) is the unique solution, when   for x ≤ −1, of the equation y + ln(y) = z. Except for those two values, the Wright omega function is continuous, even analytic.

Properties

edit

The Wright omega function satisfies the relation  .

It also satisfies the differential equation

 

wherever ω is analytic (as can be seen by performing separation of variables and recovering the equation  ), and as a consequence its integral can be expressed as:

 

Its Taylor series around the point   takes the form :

 

where

is a second-order Eulerian number.
