lambertw(z, k=0, tol=1e-8)
Lambert W function.
The Lambert W function `W(z)` is defined as the inverse function
of ``w * exp(w)``. In other words, the value of ``W(z)`` is
such that ``z = W(z) * exp(W(z))`` for any complex number
``z``.
The Lambert W function is a multivalued function with infinitely
many branches. Each branch gives a separate solution of the
equation ``z = w exp(w)``. Here, the branches are indexed by the
integer `k`.
Parameters
----------
z : array_like
Input argument.
k : int, optional
Branch index.
tol : float, optional
Evaluation tolerance.
Returns
-------
w : array
`w` will have the same shape as `z`.
See Also
--------
wrightomega : the Wright Omega function
Notes
-----
All branches are supported by `lambertw`:
* ``lambertw(z)`` gives the principal solution (branch 0)
* ``lambertw(z, k)`` gives the solution on branch `k`
The Lambert W function has two partially real branches: the
principal branch (`k = 0`) is real for real ``z > -1/e``, and the
``k = -1`` branch is real for ``-1/e < z < 0``. All branches except
``k = 0`` have a logarithmic singularity at ``z = 0``.
**Possible issues**
The evaluation can become inaccurate very close to the branch point
at ``-1/e``. In some corner cases, `lambertw` might currently
fail to converge, or can end up on the wrong branch.
**Algorithm**
Halley's iteration is used to invert ``w * exp(w)``, using a first-order
asymptotic approximation (O(log(w)) or `O(w)`) as the initial estimate.
The definition, implementation and choice of branches is based on [2]_.

Examples
--------
The Lambert W function is the inverse of ``w exp(w)``:
>>> import numpy as np
>>> from scipy.special import lambertw
>>> w = lambertw(1)
>>> w
(0.56714329040978384+0j)
>>> w * np.exp(w)
(1.0+0j)
Any branch gives a valid inverse:
>>> w = lambertw(1, k=3)
>>> w
(-2.8535817554090377+17.113535539412148j)
>>> w*np.exp(w)
(1.0000000000000002+1.609823385706477e-15j)
**Applications to equation-solving**
The Lambert W function may be used to solve various kinds of
equations. We give two examples here.
First, the function can be used to solve implicit equations of the
form
:math:`x = a + b e^{c x}`
for :math:`x`. We assume :math:`c` is not zero. After a little
algebra, the equation may be written
:math:`z e^z = -b c e^{a c}`
where :math:`z = c (a - x)`. :math:`z` may then be expressed using
the Lambert W function
:math:`z = W(-b c e^{a c})`
giving
:math:`x = a - W(-b c e^{a c})/c`
For example,
>>> a = 3
>>> b = 2
>>> c = -0.5
The solution to :math:`x = a + b e^{c x}` is:
>>> x = a - lambertw(-b*c*np.exp(a*c))/c
>>> x
(3.3707498368978794+0j)
Verify that it solves the equation:
>>> a + b*np.exp(c*x)
(3.37074983689788+0j)
The Lambert W function may also be used find the value of the infinite
power tower :math:`z^{z^{z^{\ldots}}}`:
>>> def tower(z, n):
... if n == 0:
... return z
... return z ** tower(z, n-1)
...
>>> tower(0.5, 100)
0.641185744504986
>>> -lambertw(-np.log(0.5)) / np.log(0.5)
(0.64118574450498589+0j)
