§25.13 Periodic Zeta Function

The notation F⁡(x,s) is used for the polylogarithm Lis⁡(e2⁢π⁢i⁢x) with x real:

25.13.1 F⁡(x,s)≡∑n=1∞e2⁢π⁢i⁢n⁢xns,

where ℜ⁡s>1 if x is an integer, ℜ⁡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⁡(1−s)(2⁢π)1−s⁢(eπ⁢i⁢(1−s)/2⁢ζ⁡(1−s,x)+eπ⁢i⁢(s−1)/2⁢ζ⁡(1−s,1−x)),
0<x<1, ℜ⁡s>1,
25.13.3 ζ⁡(1−s,x)=Γ⁡(s)(2⁢π)s⁢(e−π⁢i⁢s/2⁢F⁡(x,s)+eπ⁢i⁢s/2⁢F⁡(−x,s)),
ℜ⁡s>0 if 0<x<1; ℜ⁡s>1 if x=1.
