Abstract.   The purpose of this paper is to introduce a generalization of the Arakawa-Kaneko zeta function and investigate their special values at negative integers. The special values are written as the sums of products of Bernoulli and poly-Bernoulli polynomials. We establish the basic properties for this zeta function and their special values.

2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.   11B68, 11M32.
