Abstract

We prove that 1) for any q(0,1)q\in (0,1), all complex conjugate pairs of zeros of 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 belong to the set {\{~Re\,x(5792.7,0),x\in (-5792.7,0),~|Im\,x<132 }x|<132~\} \cup { x<18 }\{ ~|x|<18~\} and 2) for any q(1,0)q\in (-1,0), they belong to the rectangle {\{~|Re\,x<364.2,x|< 364.2,~|Im\,x<132 }x|<132~\}.
