The function $\mathop{\zeta\/}\nolimits\!\left(s,a\right)$ was introduced in Hurwitz (1882) and defined by the series expansion

25.11.1 $\mathop{\zeta\/}\nolimits\!\left(s,a\right)=\sum_{{n=0}}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(n+a% )^{s}},$ $\realpart{s}>1$ , $a\neq 0,-1,-2,\dots$ .

$\mathop{\zeta\/}\nolimits\!\left(s,a\right)$ has a meromorphic continuation in the -plane, its only singularity in $\Complex$ being a simple pole at with residue 1. As a function of , with ( $\neq 1$ ) fixed, $\mathop{\zeta\/}\nolimits\!\left(s,a\right)$ is analytic in the half-plane $\realpart{a}>0$ . The Riemann zeta function is a special case:

25.11.2 $\mathop{\zeta\/}\nolimits\!\left(s,1\right)=\mathop{\zeta\/}\nolimits\!\left(s% \right).$

For most purposes it suffices to restrict $0<\realpart{a}\leq 1$ because of the following straightforward consequences of (25.11.1):

25.11.3 $\mathop{\zeta\/}\nolimits\!\left(s,a\right)=\mathop{\zeta\/}\nolimits\!\left(s% ,a+1\right)+a^{{-s}},$
