Comments

In general, if g.f. = Product_{k>=1} 1/(1 - x^k)^(c2*k^2 + c1*k + c0) and c2 > 0, then a(n) ~ exp(4*Pi * c2^(1/4) * n^(3/4) / (3*15^(1/4)) + c1*Zeta(3) / Pi^2 * sqrt(15*n/c2) + (Pi * 5^(1/4) * c0 / (2*3^(3/4) * c2^(1/4)) - 15^(5/4) * c1^2 * Zeta(3)^2 / (2*c2^(5/4) * Pi^5)) * n^(1/4) + c1/12 + 75 * c1^3 * Zeta(3)^3 / (c2^2 * Pi^8) - 5*c0 * c1 * Zeta(3) / (4*c2 * Pi^2) - c2*Zeta(3) / (4*Pi^2)) * Pi^(c1/12) * (c2/15)^(1/8 + c0/8 + c1/48) / (A^c1 * 2^((c0 + 3)/2) * n^(5/8 + c0/8 + c1/48)), where A is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant A074962. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 08 2017
