Abramowitz and Stegun (1964) tabulates: $\zeta \left(n\right)$, $n=2,3,4,\mathrm{\dots }$, 20D (p. 811); ${\mathrm{Li}}_2\left(1-x\right)$, $x=0(.01)0.5$, 9D (p. 1005); $f(\theta )$, $\theta ={15}^{\circ }(1^{\circ }){30}^{\circ }(2^{\circ }){90}^{\circ }(5^{\circ }){180}^{\circ }$, $f(\theta )+\theta \ln \theta$, $\theta =0(1^{\circ }){15}^{\circ }$, 6D (p. 1006). Here $f(\theta )$ denotes Clausen’s integral, given by the right-hand side of (25.12.9).

Morris (1979) tabulates ${\mathrm{Li}}_2\left(x\right)$ (§25.12(i)) for $\pm x=0.02(.02)1(.1)6$ to 30D.

►

Cloutman (1989) tabulates $\mathrm{\Gamma }\left(s+1\right)F_s(x)$, where $F_s(x)$ is the Fermi–Dirac integral (25.12.14), for $s=-\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2},\frac{5}{2}$, $x=-5(.05)25$, to 12S.

Fletcher et al. (1962, §22.1) lists many sources for earlier tables of $\zeta \left(s\right)$ for both real and complex $s$. §22.133 gives sources for numerical values of coefficients in the Riemann–Siegel formula, §22.15 describes tables of values of $\zeta (s,a)$, and §22.17 lists tables for some Dirichlet $L$-functions for real characters. For tables of dilogarithms, polylogarithms, and Clausen’s integral see §§22.84–22.858.

§25.12(i) Dilogarithms

►The notation ${\mathrm{Li}}_2\left(z\right)$ was introduced in Lewin (1981) for a function discussed in Euler (1768) and called the dilogarithm in Hill (1828): … ►Other notations and names for ${\mathrm{Li}}_2\left(z\right)$ include $S_2(z)$ (Kölbig et al. (1970)), Spence function $\mathrm{Sp}(z)$ (’t Hooft and Veltman (1979)), and ${\mathrm{L}}_2(z)$ (Maximon (2003)). ►In the complex plane ${\mathrm{Li}}_2\left(z\right)$ has a branch point at $z=1$. … ►For graphics see Figures 25.12.1 and 25.12.2, and for further properties see Maximon (2003), Kirillov (1995), Lewin (1981), Nielsen (1909), and Zagier (1989). …

… ►For the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta (s,a)$ see Spanier and Oldham (1987, p. 653) and Coffey (2009). ►For dilogarithms and polylogarithms see Jacobs and Lambert (1972), Osácar et al. (1995), Spanier and Oldham (1987, pp. 231–232), and Zudilin (2007). …

… ►

Luke (1969b, p. 306) gives coefficients in Chebyshev-series expansions that cover $\zeta \left(s\right)$ for $0\le s\le 1$ (15D), $\zeta \left(s+1\right)$ for $0\le s\le 1$ (20D), and $\ln \xi \left(\frac{1}{2}+\mathrm{i}x\right)$ (§25.4) for $-1\le x\le 1$ (20D). For errata see Piessens and Branders (1972).

►

Morris (1979) gives rational approximations for ${\mathrm{Li}}_2\left(x\right)$ (§25.12(i)) for $0.5\le x\le 1$. Precision is varied with a maximum of 24S.

5: 25.1 Special Notation

… ►The main related functions are the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta (s,a)$, the dilogarithm ${\mathrm{Li}}_2\left(z\right)$, the polylogarithm ${\mathrm{Li}}_s\left(z\right)$ (also known as Jonquière’s function $\varphi (z,s)$), Lerch’s transcendent $\mathrm{\Phi }(z,s,a)$, and the Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(s,\chi )$.
