Abstract: We study the behavior of $r$-fold zeta-functions of Euler-Zagier type with identical arguments $zet{a}_r(s,s,ldots,s)$ on the real line. Our basic tool is an "infinite version of Newton's classical identities. We carry out numerical computations, and draw graphs of $zet{a}_r(s,s,ldots,s)$ for real $s$, for several small values of $r$. Those graphs suggest various properties of $zet{a}_r(s,s,ldots,s)$, some of which we prove rigorously. When $sin[0,1]$, we show that $zet{a}_r(s,s,ldots,s)$ has $r$ asymptotes at $Res=1/k$ ($1leqkleqr$), and determine the asymptotic behavior of $zet{a}_r(s,s,ldots,s)$ close to those asymptotes. Numerical computations establish the existence of several real zeros for $2leqrleq10$ (in which only the case $r=2$ was previously known). Based on those computations, we raise a conjecture on the number of zeros for general $r$, and gives a formula for calculating the number of zeros. We also consider the behavior of $zet{a}_r(s,s,ldots,s)$ outside the interval $[0,1]$. We prove asymptotic formulas for $zet{a}_r(-k,-k,ldots,-k)$, where $k$ takes odd positive integer values and tends to $+infty$. Moreover, on the number of real zeros of $zet{a}_r(s,s,ldots,s)$, we prove that there are exactly $(r-1)$ real zeros on the interrval $(-2n,-2(n-1))$ for any $ngeq2$.
