The generalised zeta-function ζ(s, α) is defined by

where α>0 and Res>l. Clearly, ζ(s, 1)=, where ζ(s) denotes the Riemann zeta-function. In this paper we consider a general class of Dirichlet series satisfying a functional equation similar to that of ζ(s). If ø(s) is such a series, we analogously define ø(s, α). We shall derive a representation for ø(s, α) which will be valid in the entire complex s-plane. From this representation we determine some simple properties of ø(s, α).
