Inequality for functions on [0,1], continued
Let $0<a<1,\; \psi_a(x)=\displaystyle \prod_{j=0}^\infty (1-a^jx).$ For each $ k\in \mathbb{N},$ set
$$f_k(a;x):=\frac{x^k}{(1-a)(1-a^2)\dots (1-a^k)}\,\psi_a(x).$$
Question. Is it true that, ...

Does $\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty (bq^n,p/aq^n;p)_\infty z^n q^{n(n-1)/2}$ have a closed form?
The formula
$$
\small\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty (bq^n,p/aq^n;p)_\infty
z^n q^{n(n-1)/2}=\frac{(-z,-q/z;q)_\infty}{\ln\frac{1}{q}}\int\limits_0^\infty\frac{\left(bt/z,pz/at;p\right)_\infty}{\left(-t,-...

What partial sum formulae exist for this basic hypergeometric series?
I've run into:
$$\sum_{x=1}^{\infty} {x^a\over 1-q^{x}}, \ s.t.\ q\in \mathbb N>1 \ or \ q\in (0, 1),\ a \in \mathbb N$$
I am interested mostly in the cases where $a = 1$ or $ a = 2$
Things I'...
