Dilogarithm 2026-10-06
The dilogarithm is the order-two polylogarithm, defined for by . Its derivative is , with a removable value at zero; a chosen complex logarithm branch gives its analytic continuation.
For fixed , the factor grows at most polynomially in , whereas decays exponentially when . The defining series for the polylogarithm therefore converges absolutely and locally uniformly for every complex and . It is holomorphic in on the unit disc and entire in there.
