function [ n_data, x, fx ] = dilogarithm_values ( n_data ) %% DILOGARITHM_VALUES returns some values of the dilogarithm function. % % Discussion: % % The dilogarithm is defined as % % Li_2(X) = - Integral ( 0 <= T <= X ) ln ( 1 - T ) / T dT % % The dilogarithm is also known as Spence's integral. % % In Abramowitz and Stegun form of the function is different, % and is equivalent to evaluated Li_2(1-X). % % The dilogarithm is the special case, with N = 2, of the % polylogarithm Li_N(X). % % In Mathematica, the function can be evaluated by: % % PolyLog[2,X] % % Modified: % % 16 September 2004 % % Author: % % John Burkardt % % Reference: % % Milton Abramowitz and Irene Stegun, % Handbook of Mathematical Functions, % US Department of Commerce, 1964. % % Stephen Wolfram, % The Mathematica Book, % Fourth Edition, % Wolfram Media / Cambridge University Press, 1999. % % Parameters: % % Input/output, integer N_DATA.
