Abstract

Using partition generating function techniques, we prove qq-series analogues of a formula of Frobenius generalizing Abel's convergence theorem for complex power series. Frobenius' result states that for q<1|q|<1, limq1(1q)n1f(n)qn\lim_{q\to 1}(1-q)\sum_{n\geq 1} f(n) q^n is equal to the average value limN\lim_{N\to \infty} 1Nk=1Nf(k)\frac{1}{N}\sum_{k=1}^{N}f(k) of the sequence {f(n)}\{f(n)\} as nn\to \infty, if the average value exists.
