Prove $text{Li}_2(e^{-2 i x})+text{Li}_2(e^{2 i x})=frac{1}{3} (6 x^2-6 pi x+pi ^2)$ when $0<x<pi$












4












$begingroup$


This is an identity I deduced when playing with the initial-boundary value problem of heat conduction equation asked here. It's easy to verify numerically with Mathematica:



Plot[{PolyLog[2, E^(-2 I x)] + PolyLog[2, E^(2 I x)], 
1/3 (π^2 - 6 π x + 6 x^2)}, {x, -1, 4},
PlotStyle -> {Automatic, {Thick, Dashed}}]


Mathematica graphics



However, Mathematica doesn't know how to simplify $text{Li}_2(e^{-2 i x})+text{Li}_2(e^{2 i x})$ to $frac{1}{3} (6 x^2-6 pi x+pi ^2)$ symbolically, so I'm wondering, how can I prove it by hand?

              Most of this is just definitions, the only property that's used is here. Pretty simple. +1

            Try a series expansion around $x=0$ and get
            $$text{Li}_2left(e^{-2 i x}right)+text{Li}_2left(e^{2 i x}right)=frac{pi ^2}{3}-2 pi x+2 x^2+Oleft(x^{99}right)$$

            • $begingroup$
              OK… Mathematica can't find the general form of the series coefficient, SeriesCoefficient[PolyLog[2, E^(-2 I x)] + PolyLog[2, E^(2 I x)], {x, 0, n}] returns the input, but e.g. Simplify[Series[PolyLog[2, E^(-2 I x)] + PolyLog[2, E^(2 I x)], {x, 0, 10}] // Normal, 0 < x < Pi] returns 1/3 (Pi^2 - 6 Pi x + 6 x^2), so the identity is verified in another way.

              @xzczd. Coulod you try the first instruction not with $n$ but with $6$ for example ? Thanks to let me know. I suppose that you need to assume $x>0$.

              OK ! Try Series instead of SeriesCoefficient still with $6$ and not $n$. I think that I had things like that years ago when I had Mma at university.

                      OK… Mathematica can't find the general form of the series coefficient, SeriesCoefficient[PolyLog[2, E^(-2 I x)] + PolyLog[2, E^(2 I x)], {x, 0, n}] returns the input, but e.g. Simplify[Series[PolyLog[2, E^(-2 I x)] + PolyLog[2, E^(2 I x)], {x, 0, 10}] // Normal, 0 < x < Pi] returns 1/3 (Pi^2 - 6 Pi x + 6 x^2), so the identity is verified in another way. Thx.

                      @xzczd. Coulod you try the first instruction not with $n$ but with $6$ for example ? Thanks to let me know. I suppose that you need to assume $x>0$.

                      OK ! Try Series instead of SeriesCoefficient still with $6$ and not $n$. I think that I had things like that years ago when I had Mma at university.

                    @xzczd. Ask Mathematica to do it ... and let me know if it works ! Cheers
