Are these generalizations known in the literature?
By using
$$\int_0^\infty\frac{\ln^{2n}(x)}{1+x^2}dx=|E_{2n}|\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{2n+1}\tag{a}$$
and
$$\text{Li}_{a}(-z)+(-1)^a\text{Li}_{a}(-1/z)=-2\sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor{a/2}\rfloor }\frac{\eta(...

Is the closed form of $\int_0^1\frac{\text{Li}_{2a+1}(x)}{1+x^2}dx$ known in the literature?
Using
$$\text{Li}_{2a+1}(x)-\text{Li}_{2a+1}(1/x)=\frac{i\,\pi\ln^{2a}(x)}{(2a)!}+2\sum_{k=0}^a \frac{\zeta(2a-2k)}{(2k+1)!}\ln^{2k+1}(x)\tag{1}$$
and
$$\int_0^1x^{n-1}\operatorname{Li}_a(x)\mathrm{d}...

Canonical reference for algebraic theory of polylogs?
I've noticed that there are lots of similar-looking (at least to my untrained eye) questions on Math Stackexchange involving polylogarithms, all equally delicious, in which the OP asks about how to ...

Asymptotic expansions of sums via Cauchy's integral formula and Watson's lemma
I am looking for references that deal with the asymptotic expansions of sums of the form
$$s(n)=\sum_{k=0}^n g(n,k)$$
using the (or similar to) following method.
We have the generating function
$$f(z)=...
