  • Morris (1979) tabulates Li 2 ( x ) 25.12(i)) for ± x = 0.02 ( .02 ) 1 ( .1 ) 6 to 30D.

  • Cloutman (1989) tabulates Γ ( s + 1 ) F s ( x ) , where F s ( x ) is the FermiDirac integral (25.12.14), for s = 1 2 , 1 2 , 3 2 , 5 2 , x = 5 ( .05 ) 25 , to 12S.

  • 2: 25.20 Approximations
  • Morris (1979) gives rational approximations for Li 2 ( x ) 25.12(i)) for 0.5 x 1 . Precision is varied with a maximum of 24S.

  • Antia (1993) gives minimax rational approximations for Γ ( s + 1 ) F s ( x ) , where F s ( x ) is the FermiDirac integral (25.12.14), for the intervals < x 2 and 2 x < , with s = 1 2 , 1 2 , 3 2 , 5 2 . For each s there are three sets of approximations, with relative maximum errors 10 4 , 10 8 , 10 12 .

  • 3: 25.12 Polylogarithms
    The FermiDirac and Bose–Einstein integrals are defined by
    25.12.14 F s ( x ) = 1 Γ ( s + 1 ) 0 t s e t x + 1 d t , s > 1 ,
    In terms of polylogarithms
    F s ( x ) = Li s + 1 ( e x ) ,
    For a uniform asymptotic approximation for F s ( x ) see Temme and Olde Daalhuis (1990).
