A Simple Proof of the Functional Relation for the Lerch Type Tornheim Double Zeta Function

Takashi NAKAMURA

Abstract

In this paper, we give a simple proof of the functional relation for the Lerch type Tornheim double zeta function. By using it, we obtain simple proofs of some explicit evaluation formulas for double $L$-values.
