Clarification (effective with 1.0.21):

The previous constraint $a\ne 0,-1,-2,\mathrm{\dots },$ was removed. A clarification regarding the correct constraints for Lerch’s transcendent $\mathrm{\Phi }(z,s,a)$ has been added in the text immediately below.

the previous constraint $a\ne 0,-1,-2,\mathrm{\dots },$ was removed. A clarification regarding the correct constraints for Lerch’s transcendent $\mathrm{\Phi }(z,s,a)$ has been added in the text immediately below. In particular, it is now stated that if $s$ is not an integer then ; if $s$ is a positive integer then $a\ne 0,-1,-2,\mathrm{\dots }$; if $s$ is a non-positive integer then $a$ can be any complex number.
