(Apostol 1997, p. 114). The only entire cusp form of weight is the zero function (Apostol 1997, p. 116). The set of all cusp forms in (all modular forms of weight ) is a linear subspace of which is denoted . The dimension of is 1 for , 16, 18, 20, 22, and 26 (Apostol 1997, p. 119). For a cusp form ,
