Abstract

We use a variant of a method of Goncharov, Kontsevich and Zhao [5, 16] to meromorphically continue the multiple Hurwitz zeta function to , to locate the hyperplanes containing its possible poles and to compute the residues at the poles. We explain how to use the residues to locate trivial zeros of .
