The precision of the contemporary experimental data demands that the parton distribution functions (PDF’s) should be corrected at least up to next-to-leading order (NLO) and preferably up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). A general form of tensor structure function of the deuteron at NLO and NNLO is obtained by using the solution of Dokshitzer, Gribov, Lipatov, Altarelli, Parisi (DGLAP) equation for singlet structure function at small-x. Results are compared with HERA Experiment data.
