Weisstein, Eric W. "Polylogarithm." http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Polylogarithm.html "A number of remarkable identities exist for polylogarithms, including the amazing identity satisfied by Li_(17)(alpha_1^(-17)), where alpha_1=(x^(10)+x^9-x^8-x^6-x^5-x^4-x^3+x+1)_2 approx 1.17628 (Sloane's A073011) is the smallest Salem constant, i.e., the largest positive root of the polynomial in Lehmer's Mahler measure problem (Cohen et al. 1992; Bailey and Broadhurst 1999; Borwein and Bailey 2003, pp. 8-9). "

FORMULA

p(x)=(x^(10) + x^9 - x^8 - x^6 - x^5 - x^4 - x^3 + x + 1); q(x)=x^10*p(1/x):toral inverse; a(n) =coefficients of series(1/q(x)).

MATHEMATICA

p[x_] = (x^(10) + x^9 - x^8 - x^6 - x^5 - x^4 - x^3 + x + 1); q[x_] = Expand[x^10*p[1/x]]; a = Table[SeriesCoefficient[Series[1/q[x], {x, 0, 50}], n], {n, 0, 50}]
