Summary: This paper studies the beta type distribution associated with the Bernstein type basis functions and the beta function, and defines its characteristic function. Using integral formulas, new formulas and relations for the characteristic function are given, as well as the kurtosis excess and new identities for the moments of the beta type distribution. Relations among expected values for the logarithm of random variables, Stirling numbers, Catalan numbers, digamma function, beta function, and gamma function are also discussed.

Summary: This paper analyzes an efficient logarithmic recursion method to approximate the two real branches, W 0 and W -1, of the Lambert W function. The paper provides suitable starting values for monotone convergence on the entire domain of definition and gives estimates on the convergence speed, enabling high-precision approximations of W 0 and W -1 at any point.

Summary: This paper introduces new explicit expressions for the evolution of electrical variables in the charge/discharge process of SC banks operated at constant power. These formulations simplify calculations and reveal direct relationships between the variables, potentially aiding in sizing, regulation, and control of power applications with embedded SC banks.

Summary: This note proposes an application of the Lambert W function in linear viscoelasticity, specifically in a peculiar creep model with two spectral functions. The conjugate symmetry property of the Lambert W function is found to be essential in calculating these spectral functions. The corresponding relaxation function is computed and the plots of all computed functions are provided.

Summary: The Lambert W function, which is a multivalued inverse function, has various applications. A new method based on Pade approximation and Schroder's iteration is proposed to construct a high-precision analytical approximation for the two branches of the W function. This method can also be extended to solve other transcendental equations in science and engineering.

Summary: This paper investigates the solutions of linear neutral delay differential equations using Laplace transform, relying on computer algebra and numerical methods to determine poles for the inverse Laplace transform calculation. The resulting solution is a non-harmonic Fourier series, and a sufficient degree of accuracy can be achieved with a relatively small number of terms in the truncated series. Comparisons are made with classical method of steps and numerical solutions obtained by discretization, showing the reliability and accuracy of the Laplace transform method.

Summary: This paper presents new and accurate direct solutions for predicting the normal depths of wide rectangular and cosine-shaped sections using the Lambert W-Function and doubly infinite expanded series. The proposed equations are applicable for both rough and smooth flow regimes as well as the transition region, and have the characteristics of fast convergence.

Summary: This paper explores the use of the Lambert W function to invert the loading-implicit isotherms of Elovich, Volmer, and Jossens to solve for adsorbed phase concentration as a function of liquid phase concentration. The practical implementation of the Lambert W function in Excel provides a novel method to fit loading-implicit isotherms to experimental data of water contaminants.

Summary: This article investigates the n-th central-raw ratios r(n)(xi) of random variable xi with non-zero expectation. It uses Hayman's method to derive asymptotic formulas for the n-th raw and central moments for binomial and Poisson distributions, and Laplace's expansion to obtain the asymptotic formula for the n-th raw moment of the normal distribution. As a result, the n-th central-raw ratios show different patterns for binomial B(N, p), Poisson P(lambda), and normal N(mu, sigma(2)) distributions.

Summary: The unwinding number of a complex number is used for automatic computations involving complex numbers and multi-valued complex functions, and has been successfully applied to computations involving branches of the Lambert W function. By discussing the unwinding number from a purely topological perspective and linking it to the classical winding number of a curve in the complex plane, we are able to represent the branches Wk of the Lambert W function as a line integral.

Summary: This paper proposes an alternative approach to modeling skewed data by using Lambert W random variable transformations instead of constructing new distributions. The Lambert W normal distribution and Lambert W exponential distribution are chosen as starting points, and their suitability in practical scenarios is evaluated using real insurance data.
