Polylog
=======
[](https://github.com/Expander/polylog/actions)
[](https://docs.rs/polylog/)
The Polylog package provides Rust implementations of real and complex
polylogarithms, including the dilogarithm and trilogarithm.
The Polylog package depends on the `num` crate.
Example
-------
```rust
extern crate num;
extern crate polylog;
use num::complex::Complex;
use polylog::{Li, Li0, Li1, Li2, Li3, Li4, Li5, Li6};
fn main() {
let x = 1.0;
let z = Complex::new(1.0, 1.0);
let n = 10;
// real polylogarithms for real arguments
println!("Li0({}) = {}", x, x.li0()); // Re[Li_0(x)]
println!("Li1({}) = {}", x, x.li1()); // Re[Li_1(x)]
println!("Li2({}) = {}", x, x.li2()); // Re[Li_2(x)] (dilogarithm)
println!("Li3({}) = {}", x, x.li3()); // Re[Li_3(x)] (trilogarithm)
println!("Li4({}) = {}", x, x.li4()); // Re[Li_4(x)]
println!("Li_{}({}) = {}", n, x, x.li(n)); // Re[Li_n(x)]
// complex polylogarithms for complex arguments
println!("Li0({}) = {}", z, z.li0()); // Li_0(z)
println!("Li1({}) = {}", z, z.li1()); // Li_1(z)
println!("Li2({}) = {}", z, z.li2()); // Li_2(z) (dilogarithm)
println!("Li3({}) = {}", z, z.li3()); // Li_3(z) (trilogarithm)
println!("Li4({}) = {}", z, z.li4()); // Li_4(z)
println!("Li5({}) = {}", z, z.li5()); // Li_5(z)
println!("Li6({}) = {}", z, z.li6()); // Li_6(z)
println!("Li_{}({}) = {}", n, z, z.li(n)); // Li_n(z)
}
```
Notes
-----
The implementation of the real dilogarithm is an adaption of
[[arXiv:2201.01678](https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.01678)].
The implementation of the complex dilogarithm has been inspired by the
implementation in [SPheno](https://spheno.hepforge.org) and has been
translated to Rust.
The implementation of the general n-th order polylogarithm is an
adaption of [[arXiv:2010.09860](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.09860)].
