HurwitzLerchPhi

HurwitzLerchPhi
gives the Hurwitz-Lerch transcendent .
MORE INFORMATION
  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • The Hurwitz-Lerch transcendent is defined as an analytic continuation of .
  • HurwitzLerchPhi has branch cut discontinuities in the complex plane running from to , and in the complex plane running from to .
  • For certain special arguments, HurwitzLerchPhi automatically evaluates to exact values.
