Hi, Mathematica 4.2 gives the correct answer on XP Home, P4 2.2 GHz, CompaqPresario 1510EA In[1]:= Integrate[PolyLog[0, Exp[I*(x - y)]], {y, 0, 2*Pi}] Out[1]= 0 ----- Original Message ----- From: "D" <D at D.gov> To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg54813] Bug in polylogarithm integration > The integrals > Integrate[PolyLog[n, Exp[I*(x - y)]], {y, 0, 2*Pi}] > and > Integrate[PolyLog[n, Exp[I*(y - x)]], {y, 0, 2*Pi}] > should be 0 for all n and for all x. > > Mathematica 5.1 gives the correct answer for both integral with > litteral n.
