The Clausen functions
ClausenCl(n, θ)the Clausen function Details
is the classical Clausen function; , infinite at . - Parity alternates with the order (DLMF §25.12(ii), mpmath's `clsin` / `clcos`): even
gives the odd, -periodic sine series, odd the even cosine series, so that or respectively. See PolyLog. - Special values:
(Catalan's constant), , , , , . See DirichletEta, DirichletBeta. peaks at with value , the Gieseking constant's companion; the volume of the ideal regular tetrahedron is . - Wolfram has no Clausen head: there it is spelled
, which is how the oracle checks are phrased. Numerically, the polylogarithm's expansion at the unit circle (DLMF 25.12.12) with reduced into .

Implementation
referenceengine
notatioCl_n cuts Li_n(e^{iθ}) in two by parity: the even orders are the sine series (its imaginary part), the odd orders the cosine series (its real part).

mpmathpackages/oracle/src/mappings.tsclsin(n, θ) for even n, clcos(n, θ) for odd n. Wolfram has no head; Im/Re PolyLog[n, E^(I θ)] instead.
