In this article, we consider the weighted partition function pf(n) given by the generating series ∑n=1∞ pf(n)zn = ∏n∈ℕ*(1-zn)-f(n), where we restrict the class of weight functions to strongly additive functions. Originally proposed in a paper by Yang, this problem was further examined by Debruyne and Tenenbaum for weight functions taking positive integer values. We establish an asymptotic formula for this generating series in a broader context, which notably can be used for the class of multiplicative functions. Moreover, we employ a classical result by Montgomery-Vaughan to estimate exponential sums with additive coefficients, supported on minor arcs.
