Abstract

Let pˉ(n)\bar{p}(n) denote the overpartition function. In this paper, we study the asymptotic higher order log\log-concavity property of the overpatition function in a similar framework done by Hou and Zhang for the partition function. This will enable us to move on further in order to prove log\log-concavity of overpartitions, explicitly by studying the asymptotic expansion of the quotient pˉ(n1)pˉ(n+1)/pˉ(n)2\bar{p}(n-1)\bar{p}(n+1)/\bar{p}(n)^2 upto a certain order so that one can finally ends up with the phenomena of 22-log\log-concavity and higher order Tur\'{a}n property of pˉ(n)\bar{p}(n) by following a sort of unified approach.
