Description
Summary:In the theory of special functions, finding correlations between different types of functions is of great interest as unifying results, especially when considering issues such as analytic continuation. In the present paper, the relation between Lambert W-function and generalized hypergeometric functions is discussed. It will be shown that it is possible to link these functions by following two different strategies, namely, by means of the direct and inverse Mellin transform of Lambert W-function and by solving the trinomial equation originally studied by Lambert and Euler. The new results can be used both to numerically evaluate Lambert W-function and to study its analytic structure.
