Omega Constant
The omega constant is defined as
 |
(1)
|
(OEIS A030178), where
is the Lambert W-function. It is available in the Wolfram Language using the function ProductLog[1].
can be considered a sort of "golden ratio" for exponentials since
![exp[-W(1)]=W(1),](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/OmegaConstant/NumberedEquation2.gif) |
(2)
|
giving
![ln[1/(W(1))]=W(1).](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/OmegaConstant/NumberedEquation3.gif) |

The omega constant is also given by the power tower

(4)

where

A beautiful integral involving
given by
is due to V. Adamchik (OEIS A115287; Moll 2006; typo corrected).
