The solution of s exp( s ) = a is not always the lambert w function of a

Abstract: We study the solutions of the matrix equation S exp(S) = A. Our motivation comes from the study of systems of delay differential equations y ′ (t) = Ay(t − 1), which occur in some models of practical interest, especially in mathematical biology. This paper concentrates on the distinction between evaluating a matrix function and solving a matrix equation. In particular, it shows that the matrix Lambert W function evaluated at the matrix A does not represent all possible solutions of S exp(S) = A. These results … Show more

“…Because we can decouple the equations for the characteristic roots, we can avoid the use of the matrix version of the Lambert W -function [25], which, moreover, lacks [27][28][29] a property similar to Property 1.…”

“…We thus obtained the same condition, D v > D u , one can find in the framework without delay, but now the working hypothesis is on the sign of derivatives f uτ and g vτ related to the delayed concentrations of the activator and inhibitor. We can determine a critical value for the ratio of the diffusion coefficients D = Dv Du , for which the interval given by (28) reduces to a single point, the condition being ∆ = 0, namely…”

“…Recently, a special function named Lambert W function, defined as the solution w=W(z) of e = , w w z has been frequently used for the stability analysis of time-delay system [22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Though the attempt of generalizing the scalar Lambert W function to matrix Lambert W function for more complicated delay differential equations has been shown not always successful [29], the use of Lambert W function does work effectively for the stability analysis of some special time-delay systems.…”
