An explicit expression of the Lerch zeta function on maximal domains of holomorphy

Abstract: We give two results on the Lerch zeta function

P h i (z,, s,, w)

. The first is to give an explicitly brief proof providing both the analytic continuation of

P h i

in

n

-variables

(n i n 1,, 2,, 3)

to maximal domains of holomorphy in

m a t h b b C^{n}

and an extended formula for the special values of

P h i

at non-positive integers in the variable

s

. The second is to show that Lerch's functional equation is essentially the same as Apostol's functional equation using the first result.
