Here you can find a compilation of references on the Lambert W function, its generalizations, and applications. It is by no means a complete list, but with common effort, it can grow further.
The articles appear in reverse chronological order inside their sections. If there are links to PDFs, they exclusively point to freely available content.
If you are interested in numerical approximations and computational aspects of the W function, you can search the papers marked with (n). Papers on inequalities regarding W are marked with (i). Just use the search function of your browser to jump easily to these papers.
