Abstract: Let $Z_n(s;a_1,\mathrm{...},a_n)$ be the Epstein zeta function defined as the meromorphic continuation of the function sum_{kin�^nsetminus{0}}(sum_{i=1}^n [a_i k_i]^2)^{-s}, ext{Re} s>frac{n}{2} to the complex plane. We show that for fixed $seqn/2$, the function $Z_n(s;a_1,\mathrm{...},a_n)$, as a function of $(a_1,\mathrm{...},a_n)in(R^{+}{)}^n$ with fixed $pro{d}_{i=1}^n{a}_i$, has a unique minimum at the point $a_1=\mathrm{...}=a_n$. When $su{m}_{i=1}^n{c}_i$ is fixed, the function ${\displaystyle }$(c_1,..., c_n)mapsto Z_n(s; e^{c_1},..., e^{c_n})${\displaystyle }$ can be shown to be a convex function of any $(n-1)$ of the variables $c_1,\mathrm{...},c_n$. These results are then applied to the study of the sign of $Z_n(s;a_1,\mathrm{...},a_n)$ when $s$ is in the critical range $(0,n/2)$. It is shown that when $1leqnleq9$, $Z_n(s;a_1,\mathrm{...},a_n)$ as a function of $(a_1,\mathrm{...},a_n)in(R^{+}{)}^n$, can be both positive and negative for every $sin(0,n/2)$. When $ngeq10$, there are some open subsets $I_{n,+}$ of $sin(0,n/2)$, where $Z_n(s;a_1,\mathrm{...},a_n)$ is positive for all $(a_1,\mathrm{...},a_n)in(R^{+}{)}^n$. By regarding $Z_n(s;a_1,\mathrm{...},a_n)$ as a function of $s$, we find that when $ngeq10$, the generalized Riemann hypothesis is false for all $(a_1,\mathrm{...},a_n)$.
