Dear Maxima-list,
I know from theory that the limit of
(lambert_w(u*exp(u)) + 1) / (u + 1)
as u approaches -1 from the right (left) is +1 (-1).
Mathematica knows this. Maple knows this. But Maxima doesn't seem to
know this. I am familiar with the Maxima FAQ that says "limits might
not be what you expect", but I am wondering if there is something
undocumented or an approach that I do not know that would give the
correct answer.
If not, that's OK; Maxima already rocks.
Best,
Jay
