|    about Fricas dilog(x) function and Mathe    |
|    19 Feb 18 02:11:48    |
      From: nma@12000.org              I was trying to compare an output from integrate by Fricas with       Mathematica.              Fricas uses dilog() in the output, while Mathematica uses PolyLog.              It is supposed to be, according to http://mathworld.wolfram.com/       ilogarithm.html       that dilog(x) is implemented in Mathematica as PolyLog[2, x].              http://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/PolyLog.html              And in Fricas., it says              http://fricas.github.io/api/LiouvillianFunction.html       "dilog(f) denotes the dilogarithm"              But I do not get the same numerical value when I try some numbers.       In Fricas              (31) -> dilog(4.)        (31) - 1.9393754207_667089531                     In Mathematica              In[59]:= PolyLog[2, 4] // N       Out[59]= 2.06131 - 4.35517 I              Any one knows what is the correct maping between Fricas dilog()       and Mathematica?              Thanks       --Nasser              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
