The computation of polylogarithms

Technical Report 15-92*, University of Kent, Computing Laboratory, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK, June 1992.

Abstract

The polylogarithm function, Li_{p}(z), is defined, and a number of algorithms are derived for its computation, valid in different ranges of its real parameter p and complex argument z. These are sufficient to evaluate it numerically, with reasonable efficiency, in all cases.
