 /** @file inifcns_nstdsums.cpp
  *
  *  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(m_1,...,m_k),lst(x_1,...,x_k))
  *    nielsen's generalized polylogarithm  S(n,p,x)
  *    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 publications:
  *      [Kol] Nielsen's Generalized Polylogarithms, K.S.Kolbig, SIAM J.Math.Anal. 17 (1986), pp. 1232-1258.

  *      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 speed 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.
