A generalization of the Hurwitz-Lerch zeta function.
(English)
[J] Integral Transforms Spec. Funct. 19, No. 1, 65-79 (2008). ISSN 1065-2469; ISSN 1476-8291/e

The generalization in the title is defined as the analytic continuation of the series $$\Phi_n(z,s,a)= \sum^\infty_{m_1,\dots, m_n= 0} {z^{m_1+\cdots+ m_n}\over (m_1+\cdots+ m_n+ a)^s},$$ with appropriate restrictions on $z$, $s$, $a$. The case $z= 1$ was considered by {\it E. W. Barnes} in [Cambr. Trans. 19, 374--425 (1904; JFM 35.0462.01) and ibid. 19, 322--355 (1904; JFM 35.0462.02)]. Integral representations are obtained, together with a basic summation formula that expresses $\Phi_n(z,s,a- t)$ as a power series in $t$ whose $k$th coefficient involves $\Phi_n(z,s+ k,a)$. This basic identity leads to interesting evaluations of classes of series associated with $\Phi_n(z,s,a)$.
