In mathematics, the multiple polylogarithm is multivariable generalization of the polylogarithm. For special cases of it's arguments, the multiple polylogarithm reduces to the normal polylogarithm.
Definitions
[edit]The multiple polylogarithms have numerous definitions.[1] Not all definitions are equivalent, but they are all related. Just like the polylogarithms, the multiple polylogarithm can be defined as either a recursive integral, or a convergant power series.
Recursive Integral
Define and for ,
.
Where denotes a path from to , and denotes travelling along that same path to a midway point . Often the subscript specifying the path is dropped.
Convergant Power Series
.[2]
We note that this power series definition allows us a natural generalization of the known identity between the classical polylogarithm and the Riemann zeta function, , by invoking the multiple zeta function:
.
Properties
[edit]The recursive integral definition for integration beginning at a base-point can be broken up into sums and products of integrations beginning at .[3] For example:
Where is a path going , is from , is from , and the loop formed by traversing does not contain or .
