ln x=(((√(1+(4/x)))−1)/2)    I don′t think there is an analytical  solution.
$$\mathrm{ln}\:{x}=\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{4}}{{x}}}−\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\: \\ $$$${I}\:{don}'{t}\:{think}\:{there}\:{is}\:{an}\:{analytical} \\ $$$${solution}. \\ $$

xln^2 x+xlnx=1  e^(ln(x^(xlnx) )+xln(x)) =e  xlnx=u  x=e^(W(u))      product log function  e^(uln(e^(W(u)) )+u) =e  e^(uW(u)+u) =e  e^(u(W(u)+1)) =e  ∴u(W(u)+1)=1  W(u)=(1/u)−1     As said above, I am unsure an analytical  solution exists     Please correct any mistakes
