Asymptotic expansions of zeros of a partial theta function

Abstract: The bivariate series

h e t a (q, x) := s u m_{j = 0}^{i n f t y} q^{j (j + 1) / 2} x^{j}

defines a {em partial theta function}. For fixed

q

(

| q | < 1

),

h e t a (q, .)

is an entire function. We prove a property of stabilization of the coefficients of the Laurent series in

q

of the zeros of

h e t a

. The coefficients

r_{k}

of the stabilized series are positive integers. They are the elements of a known increasing sequence satisfying the recurrence relation

r_{k} = s u m_{u = 1}^{i n f t y} (- 1)^{u - 1} (2 u + 1) r_{k - u (u + 1) / 2}

.
