Abstract
This entry provides a definition of the Polylogarithm function, commonly denoted as
. Here, is a complex number and an integer parameter. This function can be defined by the power series expression
for and analytically extended to the entire complex plane, except for a branch cut on
.
Several basic properties are also proven, such as the relationship to the Eulerian polynomials via
for , the derivative formula
, the relation to the “normal” logarithm via
, and the duplication formula
.
