斯盆司函數的二維圖像

斯盆司函數在複數域上的圖像

斯盆司函數（英文：Spence's function）也叫二重對數函數（英文：Dilogarithm），最早由歐拉提出，定義如下：

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}(z)=-\int _{0}^{z}{\ln(1-u) \over u}\,\mathrm {d} u{\text{, }}z\in \mathbb {C} \setminus [1,\infty )$

恆等式

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}(z)+\operatorname {Li} _{2}(-z)={\frac {1}{2}}\operatorname {Li} _{2}(z^{2})$

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}(1-z)+\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left(1-{\frac {1}{z}}\right)=-{\frac {\ln ^{2}z}{2}}$

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}(z)+\operatorname {Li} _{2}(1-z)={\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{6}}-\ln z\cdot \ln(1-z)$

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}(-z)-\operatorname {Li} _{2}(1-z)+{\frac {1}{2}}\operatorname {Li} _{2}(1-z^{2})=-{\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{12}}-\ln z\cdot \ln(z+1)$

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}(z)+\operatorname {Li} _{2}({\frac {1}{z}})=-{\frac {\pi ^{2}}{6}}-{\frac {1}{2}}\ln ^{2}(-z)$

特殊值恆等式

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left({\frac {1}{3}}\right)-{\frac {1}{6}}\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left({\frac {1}{9}}\right)={\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{18}}-{\frac {\ln ^{2}3}{6}}$

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left(-{\frac {1}{2}}\right)+{\frac {1}{6}}\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left({\frac {1}{9}}\right)=-{\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{18}}+\ln 2\cdot \ln 3-{\frac {\ln ^{2}2}{2}}-{\frac {\ln ^{2}3}{3}}$

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left({\frac {1}{4}}\right)+{\frac {1}{3}}\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left({\frac {1}{9}}\right)={\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{18}}+2\ln 2\ln 3-2\ln ^{2}2-{\frac {2}{3}}\ln ^{2}3$

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left(-{\frac {1}{3}}\right)-{\frac {1}{3}}\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left({\frac {1}{9}}\right)=-{\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{18}}+{\frac {1}{6}}\ln ^{2}3$

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left(-{\frac {1}{8}}\right)+\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left({\frac {1}{9}}\right)=-{\frac {1}{2}}\ln ^{2}{\frac {9}{8}}$

$36\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left({\frac {1}{2}}\right)-36\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left({\frac {1}{4}}\right)-12\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left({\frac {1}{8}}\right)+6\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left({\frac {1}{64}}\right)={\pi }^{2}$

特殊值

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}(-1)=-{\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{12}}$

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}(0)=0$

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left({\frac {1}{2}}\right)={\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{12}}-{\frac {\ln ^{2}2}{2}}$

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}(1)={\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{6}}$

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}(2)={\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{4}}-i\pi \ln 2$

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left(-{\frac {{\sqrt {5}}-1}{2}}\right)=-{\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{15}}+{\frac {1}{2}}\ln ^{2}{\frac {{\sqrt {5}}-1}{2}}$

$=-{\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{15}}+{\frac {1}{2}}\operatorname {arcsch} ^{2}2$

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left(-{\frac {{\sqrt {5}}+1}{2}}\right)=-{\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{10}}-\ln ^{2}{\frac {{\sqrt {5}}+1}{2}}$

$=-{\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{10}}-\operatorname {arcsch} ^{2}2$

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left({\frac {3+{\sqrt {5}}}{2}}\right)={\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{15}}-{\frac {1}{2}}\ln ^{2}{\frac {{\sqrt {5}}-1}{2}}$

$={\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{15}}-{\frac {1}{2}}\operatorname {arcsch} ^{2}2$

$\operatorname {Li} _{2}\left({\frac {{\sqrt {5}}+1}{2}}\right)={\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{10}}-\ln ^{2}{\frac {{\sqrt {5}}-1}{2}}$

$={\frac {{\pi }^{2}}{10}}-\operatorname {arcsch} ^{2}2$

在粒子物理中

斯盆司函數在粒子物理領域中計算輻射校正時比較常見。此時該函數常用一個含絕對值的對數表達式定義。

$\operatorname {\Phi } (x)=-\int _{0}^{x}{\frac {\ln |1-u|}{u}}\,du={\begin{cases}\operatorname {Li} _{2}(x),&x\leq 1;\\{\frac {\pi ^{2}}{3}}-{\frac {1}{2}}\ln ^{2}(x)-\operatorname {Li} _{2}({\frac {1}{x}}),&x>1.\end{cases}}$
