Kummer's function is defined by
 
:<math>\Lambda_n(z)=\int_0^z \frac{\log^{n-1}|t|}{1+t}\;dt.</math>
 
The [[duplication formula]] is
 
:<math>\Lambda_n(z)+\Lambda_n(-z)= 2^{1-n}\Lambda_n(-z^2)</math>.
 
Compare this to the duplication formula for the polylogarithm:
 
:<math>\operatorname{Li}_n(z)+\operatorname{Li}_n(-z)= 2^{1-n}\operatorname{Li}_n(z^2).</math>
 
An explicit link to the polylogarithm is given by
 
:<math>\operatorname{Li}_n(z)=\operatorname{Li}_n(1)\;\;+\;\;
\sum_{k=1}^{n-1} (-)^{k-1} \;\frac{\log^k |z|} {k!} \;\operatorname{Li}_{n-k} (z) \;\;+\;\;
\frac{(-)^{n-1}}{(n-1)!} \;\left[ \Lambda_n(-1) - \Lambda_n(-z) \right].</math>

My name's Garrett Kindel but everybody calls me Garrett. I'm from United States. I'm studying at the college (1st year) and I play the Banjo for 6 years. Usually I choose songs from my famous films :).
I have two sister. I love Backpacking, watching movies and Baton twirling.
