Review text

For all integers \(n\) and nonnegative integers \(t\), the logarithmic integrals \(\lambda_ n^{(t)}(x)\) of order \(t\) and degree \(n\) are defined to be the unique functions satisfying the properties (1) \(\lambda_ 0^{(t)}(x)=(\log x)^ t\); (2) \(\lambda_ n^{(t)}(x)\) has no constant term, except that \(\lambda_ 0^{(0)}(x)=1\); (3) \(D\lambda_ n^{(t)}(x)=\lfloor n\rceil\lambda_{n-1}^{(t)}(x)\), where \(\lfloor n\rceil\) is defined to equal \(n\) if \(n\neq 0\) and 1 if \(n=0\). ``The first thorough study of the harmonic logarithms was made by \textit{D. E. Loeb} and \textit{G.-C. Rota} [Adv. Math. 75, No. 1, 1-118 (1989; Zbl 0688.05001)]. Our goal here is to report on some of the more basic aspects of this study.
