The bivariate series defines a partial theta function. For fixed q (∣q∣ < 1), θ(q, ·) is an entire function. For q ∈ (–1, 0) the function θ(q, ·) has infinitely many negative and infinitely many positive real zeros. There exists a sequence of values of q tending to –1+ such that has a double real zero (the rest of its real zeros being simple). For k odd (respectively, k even) has a local minimum (respectively, maximum) at , and is the rightmost of the real negative zeros of (respectively, for k sufficiently large is the second from the left of the real negative zeros of ). For k sufficiently large one has . One has and .

In 1920, Ramanujan studied the asymptotic differences between his mock theta functions and modular theta functions, as [Formula: see text] tends towards roots of unity singularities radially from within the unit disk. In 2013, the bounded asymptotic differences predicted by Ramanujan with respect to his mock theta function [Formula: see text] were established by Ono, Rhoades, and the author, as a special case of a more general result, in which they were realized as special values of a quantum modular form. Our results here are threefold: we realize these radial limit differences as special values of a partial theta function, provide full asymptotic expansions for the partial theta function as [Formula: see text] tends towards roots of unity radially, and explicitly evaluate the partial theta function at roots of unity as simple finite sums of roots of unity.
