Lambert function and Wolfram or "±infinity+i×K=±infinity" ?
For my HP50G LambertW program, I was making comparisons with Wolfram Alpha.
In Wolfram Alpha: LambertW(-100)=3.2+2.5i LambertW(-100)=3.2+2.7i LambertW(-1E6)=11.4+2.9i LambertW(-1E9)=17. 8+2.98i LambertW(-1E15)=31.1+3.04i LambertW(-1E30)=64.9+3.09i LambertW(-1E30000)=69066.4+3.1415i LambertW(-1E3000000000)=6.9E9 +3.141592653i ... Two observations, as real x tends to go to very large negative values : 1) we see that the real part (of LambertW0) seems to —> +infinity; 2) we see that the imaginary part (of LambertW0) seems to —> pi. My questions If 2) is true, it means that lim IM(W0) =pi≠0, when x —> -infinity. Then, can we say, considering the above, that lim W0(-infinity) = -infinity, as does write Wolfram Alpha, leaving out the imaginar part? Or W0(-infinity) = -infinity+pi*i... = -infinity? Or, more generally: if lim "A" = C, when x-> B, & C=±infinity +i×(constant K), can we say that the limit C=±infinity, leaving out the imaginary part (the constant K) (the latter, K, being "peanuts" relatively to the ± infinity of the real part)? I thank you in advance for your comments. Gil |
