§25.13 Periodic Zeta Function

The notation F(x,s) is used for the polylogarithm Lis(e2πix) with x real:

25.13.1 F(x,s)n=1e2πinxns,

where s>1 if x is an integer, s>0 otherwise.

F(x,s) is periodic in x with period 1, and equals ζ(s) when x is an integer. Also,

25.13.2 F(x,s)=Γ(1s)(2π)1s(eπi(1s)/2ζ(1s,x)+eπi(s1)/2ζ(1s,1x)),
0<x<1, s>1,
25.13.3 ζ(1s,x)=Γ(s)(2π)s(eπis/2F(x,s)+eπis/2F(x,s)),
s>0 if 0<x<1; s>1 if x=1.
