where 
 is Lambert's W-Function.  It is available in Mathematica
 (Wolfram Research,
Champaign, IL) using the function ProductLog[1]. 
 can be considered a sort of ``Golden Ratio'' for
exponentials since
![\begin{displaymath}
\mathop{\rm exp}\nolimits [-W(1)]=W(1),
\end{displaymath}](o_373.gif)  |

giving
![\begin{displaymath}
\ln\left[{1\over W(1)}\right]=W(1).
