The Nielsen generalized polylogarithm generalizes the polylogarithm through
![S_(n,p)(z)=((-1)^(n+p-1))/((n-1)!p!)int_0^1((lnt)^(n-1)[ln(1-zt)]^p)/tdt.](/images/equations/NielsenGeneralizedPolylogarithm/NumberedEquation1.svg) |
The function reduces to the usual polylogarithm for the case
 |
The Nielsen generalized polylogarithm is implemented as PolyLog[n, p, z].
