Abstract

In this paper we obtain asymptotic formulas for positive crank and rank moments for overpartitions. Moreover, we show that crank and rank moments are asymptotically equal while the difference is asymptotically positive. This indicates that there exist analogous higher ospt-functions for overpartitions, which we define.
