Abstract
The solution to many EM problems can be formulated in terms of the Lambert W function. Several have been presented here. The function frequently occurs in the dispersion relations for transmission-line problems when the limiting cases of small radius or thickness are considered. Numerical algorithms of the function have been incorporated into the popular mathematical computation packages, which allows the efficient and rapid solution of problems that have traditionally been done graphically.
