Node derivatives and translations on the slit domain #
The node derivative formula (3.5) of Carlson (1987) extends from the native integral to all complex Dirichlet parameters and all slit-plane nodes. Joint analyticity is essential: it makes the node derivative analytic in the parameters, so permanence of functional relations applies. Summation gives (2.8)–(2.10), including scalar translation, with the inhomogeneous R-term and without convergence restrictions.
A node derivative is jointly holomorphic in all arguments of L.

Equation (2.9), the translation differential-difference identity.
Equation (2.8): the Euler differential identity includes the R-term.
Equation (2.10): scalar translation, locally wherever every translated node is in the slit plane. No global translation or branch-crossing assumption is needed.
