Real zeros of Hurwitz-Lerch zeta functions in the interval (-1,0)

Abstract: For

0 < a l e 1

,

s, z i n m a t h b b C

and

0 < | z | l e 1

, the Hurwitz-Lerch zeta function is defined by

P h i (s, a, z) : = s u m_{n = 0}^{i} n f t y z^{n} (n + a)^{- s}

when

s i g m a : = R e (s) > 1

. In this paper, we show that

P h i (s i g m a, a, z) e 0

when

s i g m a i n (- 1, 0)

if and only if [I]

z = 1

and

(3 - s q r t 3) / 6 l e a l e 1 / 2

or

(3 + s q r t 3) / 6 l e a l e 1

, [II]

z i n [- 1, 1)

and

(1 - z) (1 - a) l e 1

, [III]

z o t i n m a t h b b R

and

0 < a l e 1

. In addition, we give a new proof of the functional equation of

P h i (s, a, z)

.
