    §4.13 has been enlarged. The Lambert W -function is multi-valued and we use the notation W k ( x ) , k , for the branches. The original two solutions are identified via Wp ( x ) = W 0 ( x ) and Wm ( x ) = W ± 1 ( x 0 i ) .

    Other changes are the introduction of the Wright ω -function and tree T -function in (4.13.1_2) and (4.13.1_3), simplification formulas (4.13.3_1) and (4.13.3_2), explicit representation (4.13.4_1) for d n W d z n , additional Maclaurin series (4.13.5_1) and (4.13.5_2), an explicit expansion about the branch point at z = e 1 in (4.13.9_1), extending the number of terms in asymptotic expansions (4.13.10) and (4.13.11), and including several integrals and integral representations for Lambert W -functions in the end of the section.

  • Equation (4.13.11)
    4.13.11 Wm ( x ) = η ln η ln η η + ( ln η ) 2 2 η 2 ln η η 2 + O ( ( ln η ) 3 η 3 )

    Originally the sign in front of ( ln η ) 2 2 η 2 was . The correct sign is + .

  • Subsection 26.7(iv)

    In the final line of this subsection, Wm ( n ) was replaced by Wp ( n ) twice, and the wording was changed from “or, equivalently, N = e Wm ( n ) ” to “or, specifically, N = e Wp ( n ) ”.
