Generalizing Oksana's trilogarithm relation to $\text{Li}_3(\frac{n}8)$?
This was inspired by Oksana's post. Let, $$a = \ln 2 \quad\quad\\ b = \ln 3\quad\quad\\ c = \ln 5\quad\quad$$
then the following,
\begin{align}
A &= \text{Li}_3\left(\frac12\right)\\
B &= \...

A conjectured identity for tetralogarithms $\operatorname{Li}_4$
I experimentally discovered (using PSLQ) the following conjectured tetralogarithm identity:
$$720 \,\text{Li}_4\!\left(\tfrac{1}{2}\right)-2160 \,\text{Li}_4\!\left(\tfrac{1}{3}\right)+2160 \,\text{Li}...

Relations connecting values of the polylogarithm $\operatorname{Li}_n$ at rational points
The polylogarithm is defined by the series
$$\operatorname{Li}_n(x)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{x^k}{k^n}.$$
There are relations connecting values of the polylogarithm at certain rational points in the ...

Simplification of an expression containing $\operatorname{Li}_3(x)$ terms
In my computations I ended up with this result:
$$\mathcal{K}=78\operatorname{Li}_3\left(\frac13\right)+15\operatorname{Li}_3\left(\frac23\right)-64\operatorname{Li}_3\left(\frac15\right)-102

Closed form for $\int z^n\ln{(z)}\ln{(1-z)}\,\mathrm{d}z$?
Problem. Find an anti-derivative for the following indefinite integral, where $n$ is a non-negative integer:
$$\int z^n\ln{\left(z\right)}\ln{\left(1-z\right)}\,\mathrm{d}z=~???$$
My attempt:

Inverse of the polylogarithm
The polylogarithm can be defined using the power series
$$
\operatorname{Li}_s(z) = \sum_{k=1}^\infty {z^k \over k^s}.
$$
Contiguous polylogs have the ladder operators
$$
\operatorname{Li}_{s+1}(z) ...
