Abstract
Generalized Frobeniuspartitionsor F-partitions have recently playedan important role in severalcombinatorial investigations of basic hypergeometric series identities. The goal of this paper isto use the framework ofthese investigationsto interpret families of infinite productsas generating functions for F-partitions.We employ q-series identities and bijective combinatorics.
