Relation With Wright Omega Function
In the simplest geometry, when the rays of the absorbing light are parallel, the intensity can be described with the Bouguer law,
where is coordinate in the direction of propagation. Substitution of (1) into (2) gives the equation
With the dimensionless variables, equation (3) can be rewritten as
The solution can be expressed in terms of the Wright Omega function :

“Skepticism is unbelief in cause and effect. A man does not see, that, as he eats, so he thinks: as he deals, so he is, and so he appears; he does not see that his son is the son of his thoughts and of his actions; that fortunes are not exceptions but fruits; that relation and connection are not somewhere and sometimes, but everywhere and always; no miscellany, no exemption, no anomaly,—but method, and an even web; and what comes out, that was put in.”
