The Beta function is defined for Rez>0 by
B(z,q)=∫01tq−1(1−t)z−1dt(Req>0)
and by analytic continuation elsewhere in the complex z-plane.
Show that
(zz+q)B(z+1,q)=B(z,q)
and explain how this result can be used to obtain the analytic continuation of B(z,q). Hence show that B(z,q) is analytic except for simple poles and find the residues at the poles.
