    ON VALUES OF THE HIGHER DERIVATIVES OF THE BARNES

    ZETA FUNCTION AT NON-POSITIVE INTEGERS

    SHINPEI SAKANE AND MIHO AOKI

    Abstract. Let x be a complex number which has a positive real part, and w1, . . . , wNbe positive rational numbers. We write wsΞΆN(s, x | w1, . . . , wN) as a finite linear combi-nation of the Hurwitz zeta function over Q(x), where ΞΆN(s, x | w1, . . . , wN ) is the Barneszeta function and w is a positive rational number explicitly determined by w1, . . . , wN .Furthermore, in the case that x is a positive rational number, we give an explicit formulafor the values at non-positive integers for higher order derivatives of the Barnes zetafunction involving the generalized Stieltjes constants and the values at positive integersof the Riemann zeta function. At the end of the paper, we give some tables of numericalexamples.

    The Barnes zeta function [3, 4] is defined by the multiple Dirichlet series:

    ΞΆN (s, x | w1, . . . , wN ) :=

    where N is a positive integer and x,w1, . . . , wN are fixed complex number which havepositive real parts. The series on the right converges absolutely for Re(s) > N , and thefunction of s has a meromorphic continuation to the entire complex plane with simplepoles at s = 1, 2, . . . , N . For N = 1, we have ΞΆ1(s, x | w) = w

    be the vector space over the field Q(x) generated by the Hurwitz zeta functions. Koyamaand Kurokawa [8] generalized Kummer’s formula on the gamma function to the multiplegamma function Ξ“N (x) :=exp(ΞΆ

    Proposition 2. Let w1 = r1/q1, . . . , wN = rN/qN (ri, qi ∈ Z>0 for i = 1, 2, . . . , N) bepositive rational numbers with gcd(ri, qi) = 1 for i = 1, . . . , N and put

    w := lcm(r1, . . . , rN )/gcd(q1, . . . , qN ) (∈ Q),

    β„“1 := w/w1, . . . , β„“N := w/wN . We have β„“1, . . . , β„“N ∈ Z and

    ).

    Proof. We put q := lcm(q1, . . . , qN ) and β„“ := lcm(qw1, . . . , qwN ). It is enough to showq/β„“ = wβˆ’1 = gcd(q1, . . . , qN )/lcm(r1, . . . , rN ) from Lemma 1. To show the equality, wecheck ordp(β„“ gcd(q1, . . . , qN )) = ordp(q lcm(r1, . . . , rN )) for any prime number p, whereordp(a) (∈ Z) for a ∈ Q

    Γ— is defined by

    a = pordp(a)c

    b, b, c ∈ Z, p ∀ b, p ∀ c.

    Let p be a prime number and Ξ½ (1 ≀ Ξ½ ≀ N) be an integer which satisfies ordp(wΞ½) =max {ordp(w1), . . . , ordp(wN )}. Since β„“ = lcm(qw1, . . . , qwN ), we have

    ordp(β„“) = max {ordp(qw1), . . . , ordp(qwN )}

    = ordp(q) + ordp(wΞ½).(1)

  • THE HIGHER DERIVATIVES OF THE BARNES ZETA FUNCTION 3

    (i) Consider the case p|qν . From the assumption gcd(rν , qν) = 1, we have p ∀ rν , andhence

    max {ordp(w1), . . . , ordp(wN )} = ordp(wΞ½) = βˆ’ordp(qΞ½) < 0.

    It concludes that ordp(w1) < 0, . . . , ordp(wN ) < 0, that is, p ∀ r1, . . . , p ∀ rN and p|q1, . . . , p|qN .From these facts and (1), we have

    ordp(wΞ½) = max {ordp(w1), . . . , ordp(wN )}

    = max {βˆ’ordp(q1), . . . ,βˆ’ordp(qN )}

    = βˆ’min {ordp(q1), . . . , ordp(qN )}

    = βˆ’ordp(gcd(q1, . . . , qN )),

    and

    ordp(β„“ gcd(q1, . . . , qN )) = ordp(β„“) + ordp(gcd(q1, . . . , qN ))

    = ordp(q) + ordp(wΞ½) + ordp(gcd(q1, . . . , qN ))

    = ordp(q)

    = ordp(q) + ordp(lcm(r1, . . . , rN ))

    = ordp(q lcm(r1, . . . , rN )).

    (ii) Consider the case p ∀ qν . If p|ri for some i, then p ∀ qi from gcd(ri, qi) = 1 and

    ordp(ri) = ordp(wi) ≀ max {ordp(w1), . . . ordp(wN )}

    = ordp(wΞ½) = ordp(rΞ½).

    Therefore, we have

    ordp(lcm(r1, . . . , rN )) = max {ordp(r1), . . . , ordp(rN )} = ordp(rΞ½) = ordp(wΞ½).

    From these facts and (1), we have

    ordp(β„“ gcd(q1, . . . , qN )) = ordp(β„“) + ordp(gcd(q1, . . . , qN ))

    = ordp(β„“) (since p ∀ qΞ½ .)

    = ordp(q) + ordp(wΞ½)

    = ordp(q) + ordp(lcm(r1, . . . , rN ))

    = ordp(q lcm(r1, . . . , rN )).

    Theorem 7. (Barnes [4, p.405]) For β„“ ∈ Zβ‰₯0, we have

    Proof. It is enough to show that H(s, u

    Finally we consider the value Ξ“(a)(m) for positive integers m. Coffey [6] pointed outthat the value is given by using the complete Bell polynomials Bn. For a positive integern, we define the complete Bell polynomial Bn = Bn(X1, . . . ,Xn) by

    n!,

    and let B0 := 1 (see [7, Chap. III, Β§3.3]). It is known that these polynomials are integraland have the following explicit formulae.

    Lemma 11. ([7, Chap. III, Β§3.3, Theorem A]) Let n β‰₯ 1. We have Bn(X1, . . . ,Xn) ∈Z[X1, . . . ,Xn] and

    Ο€(n) := {(k1, k2, . . . , kn) ∈ Zn | k1, k2, . . . , kn β‰₯ 0, k1 + 2k2 + Β· Β· Β·+ nkn = n}.

    We use Bn to give an explicit formula for the higher order derivatives of holomorphicfunctions.

    Lemma 12. ([6, p3, Lemma 1]) Let f(s) and g(s) be holomorphic functions on an opensubset D of C satisfying f β€²(s) = f(s)g(s). We have

    f (n)(s)

    ds

    )n

    f(s)

    )

    = f(s) Bn(g(s), gβ€²(s), . . . , g(nβˆ’1)(s)).

    By applying Lemma 11 for the gamma function Ξ“(s) and the psi function ψ(s) :=Ξ“β€²(s)/Ξ“(s), we have

    Ξ“(n)(s) = Ξ“(s) Bn(ψ(s), Οˆβ€²(s), . . . , ψ(nβˆ’1)(s))
