In this paper we are concerned with partition functions pϒ(n) that have generating functions of the form

where γ(n) ≧ 0. We shall obtain an asymptotic relation for pϒ(n) under suitable restrictions on ϒ (see Theorem 1.1). These restrictions are weaker than those of Brigham [2] who considered this problem previously.
