Fixed-parameter recurrence for associated Carlson R-functions #
This file contains the coefficient polynomials and recurrence of [Carl77, Relation 8.4-1]. The native-strip proof follows Carlson's pp. 245–246: the single-integral representation from Exercise 6.8-8, integration by parts with justified convergence and endpoint limits, the elementary-symmetric expansion, and beta/Gamma normalization. Analytic continuation then removes the strip restriction. There are no admitted proofs in this file.
The division-free, regularized residual of Carlson's fixed-parameter recurrence. The constraint on the total parameter is built into this definition.

Instances For
The division-free recurrence residual is entire in its exponent parameter.
The same residual is analytic in the Dirichlet parameters on their native domain.
A proof of the recurrence in the absolutely convergent single-integral strip suffices for all native Dirichlet parameters and all exponents. Analytic continuation is performed first in the exponent, then in the Dirichlet parameters, using division-free coefficients. This lemma does not assume the recurrence outside the strip.
The derivative of the ray primitive, with all complex powers factored out.
The remaining factor is a polynomial in w; expanding it gives the elementary
symmetric coefficients of Carlson's recurrence.
The left endpoint of the ray primitive vanishes whenever the first Mellin exponent has positive real part. No condition on the other parameters is needed here.
On the positive ray, the right-half-plane hypothesis supplies all branch conditions required by the factored derivative formula.
The recurrence primitive vanishes at infinity under Carlson's upper strip bound.
Unlike the eventual R-function application, this needs no positivity assumption on b.
Carlson's integration-by-parts calculation in the proof of Relation 8.4-1 (pp. 245–246), with absolute integrability and endpoint limits justified.
This is the factored integral identity before expanding the finite products by elementary symmetric polynomials and applying the single-integral representation from Section 6.8.
The recurrence residual vanishes in the absolutely convergent single-integral strip. Combine the ray integration-by-parts identity with the elementary-symmetric expansion in Carlson's (8.4-5)–(8.4-7), Exercise 6.8-8, and beta/Gamma normalization.
The division-free residual vanishes for all native Dirichlet parameters and all exponents.
