Complete Fermi–Dirac integral


In mathematics, the complete Fermi–Dirac integral, named after Enrico Fermi and Paul Dirac, for an index is defined by

This equals

where is the polylogarithm.

Its derivative is

and this derivative relationship is used to define the Fermi-Dirac integral for nonpositive indices j.

The closed form of the function exists for j = 0:
