The leading root of the partial theta function

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: I study the leading root x_0(y) of the partial theta function Theta_0(x,y) = sum_{n=0}^infty x^n y^{n(n-1)/2}, considered as a formal power series. I prove that all the coefficients of -x_0(y) are strictly positive. Indeed, I prove the stronger results that all the coefficients of -1/x_0(y) after the constant term 1 are strictly negative, and all the coefficients of 1/x_0(y)^2 after the constant term 1 are strictly negative except for the vanishing coefficient of y^3.
