Abstract
Not many of the congruence properties of the eighth-order mock theta function \(V_1(q)\):
have been considered to date. We show that there are self-similarities of the coefficients of \(V_1(q)\). As consequences, we find congruences like the one below. For all \(n\ge 0\) and \(k\ge 1\), we have
