So it is well-known that for [tex]n=2,3,...[/tex] the following equation holds
[tex]\zeta(n)=\int_{x_{n}=0}^{1}\int_{x_{n-1}=0}^{1}\cdot\cdot\cdot\int_{x_{1}=0}^{1}\left(\frac{1}{1-\prod_{k=1}^{n}x_{k}}\right)dx_{1}\cdot\cdot\cdot dx_{n-1}dx_{n}[/tex]
My question is how can this relation be extended to [tex]n\in\mathbb{C}\setminus \{1\}[/tex], or some appreciable subset thereof (e.g. [tex]\Re(n)>1[/tex] using fractional integration?
My bad: meant to post this in the Calculus & Analysis forum.
