Symmetry, aggregation, and scaling of Carlson's L-function #
Carlson (1987), (2.2)–(2.5). Continued identities impose no convergence restriction on Dirichlet parameters. Positive real scaling preserves the principal branch and the right-half-plane node domain.
Equation (2.4): equal nodes may be aggregated by any surjective partition.
Equation (2.3): a zero parameter and its node can be deleted. The remaining index type is nonempty, as in the existing R-deletion theorem used here.
Equation (2.2), for arbitrary complex Dirichlet parameters.
Coincident nodes reduce L to the elementary power-logarithm kernel.
The all-one node vector gives zero for every exponent and parameter.
The entire continuation respects the empty-index convention.
The one-node case of Carlson's definition, with its regularizing Gamma factor.
Positive real scaling preserves the node domain.
Equation (2.5) for the native integral, including the logarithmic correction.
Equation (2.5) for every complex Dirichlet parameter after regularization.
