A polylogarithmic function in n is a polynomial in the logarithm of n,



In computer science, polylogarithmic functions occur as the order of some algorithms (eg., "it has polylogarithmic order").


Not to be confused with polylogarithms.

Polylogarithmic Extensions on Mixed Shimura varieties, by Joerg Wildeshaus (495 words)
This paper is a slightly revised version of the author's thesis (November 1993) and is identical to the Heft 12 of the Schriftenreihe des Mathematischen Instituts Muenster.
Chapter I (chapter1.dvi) gives partial results on what we call the "generic relatively unipotent sheaf", which is defined for any sufficiently nice morphism with a section of schemes over C (in the Hodge theoretic context) or a number field (in the context of l-adic sheaves, or systems of smooth sheaves).
We then give the general formalism of the construction of polylogarithmic extensions (indeed, in the higher dimensional case, these extensions won't be one-extensions, hence can't be thought of as framed sheaves).
NC (284 words)
In complexity theory, the class NC ("Nick's Class") is the set of decision problems decidable in polylogarithmic time on a parallel computer with a polynomial number of processors.
The definition of NC is not affected by the choice of how the PRAM handles simultaneous access to a single bit by more than one processor.
Equivalently, NC can be defined as those decision problems decidable by uniform Boolean circuits[?] with polylogarithmic depth and a polynomial number of gates.
