Generalized convexity of the Lambert $W$ function

This paper investigates the generalized convexity properties of the Lambert $W$ function, defined as the solution to $W(z)e^{W(z)}=z$. Focusing on $H_{p,q}$-convexity and concavity with respect to Hölder means, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for $W$ to exhibit strict $H_{p,q}$-convexity or concavity on the interval $(0,+\mathrm{\infty })$. The main result characterizes these properties in terms of specific parameter regions $(p,q)$-plane. Inequalities involving harmonic, geometric, and arithmetic means are established, with equalities holding only when $x=y$.
