Abstract

The bivariate series θ(q,x):=j=0qj(j+1)/2xj\theta (q,x):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j defines a {\em partial theta function}. For fixed qq (q<1|q|<1), θ(q,.)\theta (q,.) is an entire function. We prove a property of stabilization of the coefficients of the Laurent series in qq of the zeros of θ\theta. The coefficients rkr_k of the stabilized series are positive integers. They are the elements of a known increasing sequence satisfying the recurrence relation rk=ν=1(1)ν1(2ν+1)rkν(ν+1)/2r_k=\sum _{\nu =1}^{\infty}(-1)^{\nu -1}(2\nu +1)r_{k-\nu (\nu +1)/2}.
