Relations between Dilogarithms and Imaginary part of Hurwitz-Zeta function

I'm working through a paper that involves a problem concerning the calculation of the Imaginary part of the derivative of the Hurwitz-Zeta function $\zeta_H(z,a)$ with respect to $z$, evaluated at a ...

Connection between the polylogarithm and the Bernoulli polynomials.

I have been studying the polylogarithm function and came across its relation with Bernoulli polynomials, as Wikipedia site asserts: For positive integer polylogarithm orders $s$, the Hurwitz zeta ...

Difference of polylogarithms of complex conjugate arguments

I have the expression $$\tag{1} \operatorname{Li}_{1/2}(z)-\operatorname{Li}_{1/2}(z^*) $$ Where $\operatorname{Li}$ is the polylogarithm and $^*$ denotes complex conjugation. The expression is ...

Patterns for the polylogarithm $\rm{Li}_m\big(\tfrac12\big)$ and Nielsen polylogarithm $S_{n,p}\big(\tfrac12\big)$?

The polylogarithm $\rm{Li}_m\big(\tfrac12\big)$ has closed-forms known for $m=1,2,3$. It seems this triad pattern extends to the Nielsen generalized logarithm $S_{n,p}\,\big(\tfrac12\big)$ for $n=0,1,...

Why does the tribonacci constant have a trilogarithm ladder?

When I came across the dilogarithm ladders of Coxeter and Landen, namely, $$\text{Li}_2\Big(\frac1{\phi^6}\Big)-4\text{Li}_2\Big(\frac1{\phi^3}\Big)-3\text{Li}_2\Big(\frac1{\phi^2}\Big)+6\text{Li}_2\...
