Next: Complex Argument, Up: Dilogarithm
These routines compute the dilogarithm for a real argument. In Lewin's notation this is Li_2(x), the real part of the dilogarithm of a real x. It is defined by the integral representation Li_2(x) = - \Re \int_0^x ds \log(1-s) / s. Note that \Im(Li_2(x)) = 0 for x <= 1, and -\pi\log(x) for x > 1.
