Expressions involving polylog are combined as follows

polylogn,x+−1npolylogn,1x=2k=1iquon,2lnxn2kpolylog2k,−1n2k!lnxnn!

polylogn,1y+−1npolylogn,y=2k=1iquon,2ln1yn2kpolylog2k,−1n2k!ln1ynn!

polyloga,z+polyloga,z=21apolyloga,z2

polylog2,z+polylog2,1z=π26lnzln1z

polylog2,w+polylog2,ww1={12ln1w2w112π22Iπlnw+Iπlnw112lnw121<w

polylog3,w+polylog3,1w+polylog3,ww1=polylog3,1+16π2ln1w12lnwln1w2+16ln1w3,forw<1

  

where n is an integer greater than one, a, w, x, y, and z are variables assumed to be complex, where 1x, and y<1.
