The Tornheim double series is defined for \(a,b,c\in \mathbb C\) as \[ T(a,b,c)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\sum_{m=1}^\infty\frac{1}{n^am^b(n+m)^c}. \] The authors provide an analytic expression for \(T(a,b,c)\) in terms of the integrals \[ I(a,b,c)=\int_0^1\zeta(1-a,q)\zeta(1-b,q)\zeta(1-c,q)\,dq \] and \[ J(a,b,c)=\int_0^1\zeta(1-a,q)\zeta(1-b,q)\zeta(1-c,1-q)\,dq, \] where \(\zeta(z,q) \) is the Hurwitz zeta function. In the case that \(a,b,c\) are natural numbers they show that \(T(a,b,c)\) can be expressed in terms of definite integrals of triple products of Bernoulli polynomials and the Bernoulli function \(A_k(q):=k\zeta'(1-k,q)\).
