Abstract

We consider the partial theta function θ(q,x):=j=0qj(j+1)/2xj\theta (q,x):=\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j, where xCx\in \mathbb{C} is a variable and qCq\in \mathbb{C}, 0<q<10<|q|<1, is a parameter. We show that, for any fixed qq, if ζ\zeta is a multiple zero of the function θ(q,.)\theta (q,.), then ζ811|\zeta |\leq 8^{11}.
