%C For many choices of u and v, there is just one value of x satisfying x = exp(u*x+v). Guide to related sequences, with graphs included in Mathematica programs:

%C Suppose that f(x,u,v) is a function of three real variables and that g(u,v) is a function defined implicitly by f(g(u,v),u,v) = 0. We call the graph of z = g(u,v) an implicit surface of f.

%C For an example related to this sequence, take f(x,u,v) = x - exp(u*x+v) and g(u,v) = a nonzero solution x of f(x,u,v) = 0. If there is more than one nonzero solution, care must be taken to ensure that the resulting function g(u,v) is single-valued and continuous. A portion of an implicit surface is plotted by Program 2 in the Mathematica section.

%C Actually there are two solutions to x = exp(x-2). This sequence gives the lesser one, x = -LambertW(-exp(-2)), and A226572 gives the greater one, x = -LambertW(-1,-exp(-2)) = 3.14619322062... - _Jianing Song_, Dec 30 2018
