  *
  *  Implementation of some special functions that have a representation as nested sums.
- *  The functions are: 
+ *
+ *  The functions are:
  *    classical polylogarithm              Li(n,x)
- *    multiple polylogarithm               Li(lst(n_1,...,n_k),lst(x_1,...,x_k)
+ *    multiple polylogarithm               Li(lst(m_1,...,m_k),lst(x_1,...,x_k))
  *    nielsen's generalized polylogarithm  S(n,p,x)
- *    harmonic polylogarithm               H(lst(m_1,...,m_k),x)
- *    multiple zeta value                  mZeta(lst(m_1,...,m_k))
+ *    harmonic polylogarithm               H(m,x) or H(lst(m_1,...,m_k),x)
+ *    multiple zeta value                  zeta(m) or zeta(lst(m_1,...,m_k))
+ *    alternating Euler sum                zeta(m,s) or zeta(lst(m_1,...,m_k),lst(s_1,...,s_k))
  *
  *  Some remarks:
- *    - All formulae used can be looked up in the following publication:
- *      Nielsen's Generalized Polylogarithms, K.S.Kolbig, SIAM J.Math.Anal. 17 (1986), pp. 1232-1258.
- *      This document will be referenced as [Kol] throughout this source code.
- *    - Classical polylogarithms (Li) and nielsen's generalized polylogarithms (S) can be numerically
- *     evaluated in the whole complex plane. And of course, there is still room for speed optimizations ;-).
- *    - The calculation of classical polylogarithms is speed up by using Euler-Maclaurin summation (EuMac).
- *    - The remaining functions can only be numerically evaluated with arguments lying in the unit sphere
- *      at the moment. Sorry. The evaluation especially for mZeta is very slow ... better not use it
- *      right now.
- *    - The functions have no series expansion. To do it, you have to convert these functions
+ *
+ *    - All formulae used can be looked up in the following publications:
+ *      [Kol] Nielsen's Generalized Polylogarithms, K.S.Kolbig, SIAM J.Math.Anal. 17 (1986), pp. 1232-1258.
+ *      [Cra] Fast Evaluation of Multiple Zeta Sums, R.E.Crandall, Math.Comp. 67 (1998), pp. 1163-1172.
+ *      [ReV] Harmonic Polylogarithms, E.Remiddi, J.A.M.Vermaseren, Int.J.Mod.Phys. A15 (2000), pp. 725-754
+ *      [BBB] Special Values of Multiple Polylogarithms, J.Borwein, D.Bradley, D.Broadhurst, P.Lisonek, Trans.Amer.Math.Soc. 353/3 (2001), pp. 907-941
+ *
+ *    - The order of parameters and arguments of Li and zeta is defined according to the nested sums
+ *      representation. The parameters for H are understood as in [ReV]. They can be in expanded --- only
+ *      0, 1 and -1 --- or in compactified --- a string with zeros in front of 1 or -1 is written as a single
+ *      number --- notation.
+ *
+ *    - Except for the multiple polylogarithm all functions can be nummerically evaluated with arguments in
+ *      the whole complex plane. Multiple polylogarithms evaluate only if for each argument x_i the product
+ *      x_1 * x_2 * ... * x_i is smaller than one. The parameters for Li, zeta and S must be positive integers.
+ *      If you want to have an alternating Euler sum, you have to give the signs of the parameters as a
+ *      second argument s to zeta(m,s) containing 1 and -1.
+ *
+ *    - The calculation of classical polylogarithms is speeded up by using Bernoulli numbers and 
+ *      look-up tables. S uses look-up tables as well. The zeta function applies the algorithms in
+ *      [Cra] and [BBB] for speed up.
+ *
+ *    - The functions have no series expansion into nested sums. To do this, you have to convert these functions
  *      into the appropriate objects from the nestedsums library, do the expansion and convert the
- *      result back. 
+ *      result back.
+ *
  *    - Numerical testing of this implementation has been performed by doing a comparison of results
- *      between this software and the commercial M.......... 4.1.
+ *      between this software and the commercial M.......... 4.1. Multiple zeta values have been checked
+ *      by means of evaluations into simple zeta values. Harmonic polylogarithms have been checked by
+ *      comparison to S(n,p,x) for corresponding parameter combinations and by continuity checks
+ *      around |x|=1 along with comparisons to corresponding zeta functions.
