Complete Fermi–Dirac integral

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

F_j(x) = \frac{1}{\Gamma(j%2B1)} \int_0^\infty \frac{t^j}{\exp(t-x) %2B 1}\,dt.

This is an alternate definition of the polylogarithm function. The closed form of the function exists for j = 0:

F_0(x) = \ln(1%2B\exp(x)).\,
