Review text

It is well known that the polylogarithm function defined by \[ \mathrm{Li}_p(x)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n^p} \] has important applications in mathematics, especially in evaluating Euler-type series and logarithmic integrals. In the paper under review, the authors study the extensions of \(\mathrm{Li}_2(x)\) and \(\mathrm{Li}_3(x)\) beyond the unit disk and find various explicit values. They also give a slight improvement of Lewin's formula for the complex dilogarithm \(\mathrm{Li}_2(x)\). Finally, they give a simple proof for the Lewin's formula using the Fourier expansions of the Bernoulli polynomials.
