Integral and computational representations of the extended Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta function

This article presents a systematic investigation of various integrals and computational represen-tations for some families of generalized Hurwitz–Lerch Zeta functions which are introduced here.We first establish their relationship with the H-function, which enables us to derive the Mellin–Barnes type integral representations for nearly all of the generalized and specialized Hurwitz–Lerch Zeta functions. The integral expressions studied in this paper provide extensions of the corresponding results given by many authors, including (for example) Garg et al. [A further study of general Hurwitz-Lerch zeta function, Algebras Groups Geom. 25 (2008), pp. 311–319] and Lin and Srivastava [Some families of the Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta functions and associated fractional derivative and other integral representations, Appl. Math. Comput. 154 (2004), pp. 725–733]. We also derive a further analytic continuation formula which provides an elegant extension of the well-known analytic continuation formula for the Gauss hypergeometric function. Fractional derivatives associated with the generalized Hurwitz–Lerch Zeta functions are obtained. The relationship between the generalized Hurwitz–Lerch Zeta function and the H-function, which was given by Garg et al., is seen to be erroneous and we give its corrected version here. Finally, a unification and extension of the Hurwitz–Lerch Zeta function, introduced in this article, is presented and two of its interesting special cases associated with the Mittag–Leffler type functions due to Barnes [The asymptotic expansion of integral functions defined by Taylor series, Philos. Trans. Roy. Soc. London Ser.A 206 (1906), pp. 249–297] and the generalized M-series considered recently by Sharma and Jain [A note on a generalized M-series as a special function of fractional calculus, Fract. Calc. Appl. Anal. 12 (2009), pp. 449–452.] are deduced.
