Jonquière's Relation

DOWNLOAD Mathematica NotebookDownload Wolfram Notebook

Jonquière's relation, sometimes also spelled "Joncquière's relation" (Erdélyi et al. 1981, p. 31), states

Li_s(z)+e^(piis)Li_s(1/z)=((2pi)^se^(ipis/2))/(Gamma(s))zeta(1-s,(lnz)/(2pii))

Erdélyi et al. (1981, p. 31), where Li_s(z) is a polylogarithm, Gamma(s) is the gamma function, and zeta(s,w) is the Hurwitz zeta function, and z is not a member of the real interval [0,1].

The most general form of the identity valid everywhere in the complex plane is

Li_s(z)=(ipi)/(Gamma(s))(1-sqrt((z-1)/z)sqrt(z/(z-1)))ln^(s-1)z+(e^(ipis/2)(2pi)^s)/(Gamma(s))zeta(1-s,(lnz)/(2pii))-e^(ipis)Li_s(1/z).
