We start with providing some background information for q-series and the partition function p(n). Then we define the spt-function and study its generating function. Our aim is to prove parity result for the spt-function. We also obtain a congruence relation between spt-function and a certain mock theta function.vi, 53 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTheoryq-seriesspt-functionQA351 .G49 2014Functions, Special.Partitions (Mathematics)q-series.Thesis
