abstract: The Ramanujan's mock-theta functions have a ultimate link with Appell-Lerch series. In the talk, we shall consider the Appell-Lerch series of the first order, and study its asymptotic behavior at any given unity root. It will be shown that the quotient of this series and a suitable theta function is a strong mock-theta function in the sense of G.E. Andrews and D. Hickerson .
