Omega constant

Constant such that omega*e^(omega) = 1

The omega constant is a mathematical constant defined as the unique real number that satisfies the equation Ω e Ω = 1. {\displaystyle \Omega e^{\Omega }=1.} It is the value of W(1), where W is Lambert's W function. The name is derived from the alternate name for Lambert's W function, the omega function.

From Wikipedia

The omega constant is a mathematical constant defined as the unique real number that satisfies the equation Ω e Ω = 1. {\displaystyle \Omega e^{\Omega }=1.} It is the value of W(1), where W is Lambert's W function. The name is derived from the alternate name for Lambert's W function, the omega function. The numerical value of Ω is given by Ω = 0.567143290409783872999968662210... (sequence A030178 in the OEIS). 1/Ω = 1.763222834351896710225201776951... (sequence A030797 in the OEIS).
