Definition

The Barnes zeta function is defined by : \zeta_N(s,w\mid a_1,\ldots,a_N)=\sum_\frac where ''w'' and ''a''''j'' have positive real part and ''s'' has real part greater than ''N''. It has a
meromorphic continuation In complex analysis, a branch of mathematics, analytic continuation is a technique to extend the domain of definition of a given analytic function. Analytic continuation often succeeds in defining further values of a function, for example in a n ...
to all complex ''s'', whose only singularities are simple poles at ''s'' = 1, 2, ..., ''N''. For ''N'' = ''w'' = ''a''1 = 1 it is the Riemann zeta function.
