Debye Functions

The first Debye function is defined by
for
,
, and
are Bernoulli numbers. Particular values are given by
where
is a polylogarithm and
is the Riemann zeta function. Abramowitz and Stegun (1972, p. 998) tabulate numerical values of
for
to 4 and
to 10.
The second Debye function is defined by
for
and
.
The sum of these two integrals is
where
is the Riemann zeta function.
