Identities involving the coefficients of a class of dirichlet series. iv

We consider a class of Dirichlet series satisfying a functional equation with gamma factors. We define a generalized Dirichlet series, that is analogous to the generalized zeta-function of Riemann. An analytic continuation for these generalized series is derived, and a few simple properties are established. Secondly, we prove a theorem on the Abel summation of Dirichlet series that satisfy Hecke's functional equation.
