How to calculate this question? $$\lim\limits_{{\rho}\rightarrow 0^+}\frac{\log{(1-(a^{-\rho}+b^{-\rho}-c^{-\rho}))}}{\log{\rho}} ,$$
where $a>0$, $b>0$ and $c>0$.
It's similarly to another question How to calculate $\lim\limits_{{\rho}\rightarrow 0^+}\frac{\log{(1-(a^{-\rho}+b^{-\rho}-(ab)^{-\rho}))}}{\log{\rho}} $ with $a>1$ and $b>1$?.
Thank you everyone.

The limit is equivalent to
$$\lim_{p\to 0}\frac{p(log(a)a^{-p}+log(b)b^{-p}-log(c)c^{-p})}{1-a^{-p}-b^{-p}+c^{-p}}$$
L'Hopital again,
$$\lim_{p\to 0}\frac{(log(a)a^{-p}+log(b)b^{-p}-log(c)c^{-p})+p(-log(a)^2a^{-p}-log(b)^2b^{-p}+log(c)^2c^{-p})}{log(a)a^{-p}+log(b)b^{-p}-log(c)c^{-p}}$$
If $ab\neq c$, then it is just $1$. If the $ab=c$, it is $2$ (same as your previous question)
Let's get the answer via series expansions. We have $$a^{-\rho} = \exp(-\rho\log a) = 1 - \rho\log a + o(\rho)$$ and hence $$a^{-\rho} + b^{-\rho} - c^{-\rho} = 1 - \rho\log(ab/c) + o(\rho)$$ so that $$\log(1 - (a^{-\rho} + b^{-\rho} - c^{-\rho})) = \log(\rho\log(ab/c)) + o(\rho))$$ and hence we see that we must have $\log(ab/c) > 0$ for the above expression to be defined. Thus we must have $ab > c$ (the case $ab = c$ has been covered in the question linked in OP's post). And then we can see that $$\log(1 - (a^{-\rho} + b^{-\rho} - c^{-\rho})) = \log \rho + \log\log(ab/c) + o(1)$$ and therefore $$\frac{\log(1 - (a^{-\rho} + b^{-\rho} - c^{-\rho}))}{\log\rho} = 1 + \frac{\log\log(ab/c)}{\log\rho} + o(1)$$ and hence the desired limit is $1$.
Note that the case $ab = c$ can also be handled via series expansions but then $\log(ab/c) = 0$ so the term with $\rho\log(ab/c)$ vanishes and hence we need the series expansions till $\rho^{2}$. But we don't need to calculate the coefficient of this $\rho^{2}$. We just have $$a^{-\rho} + b^{-\rho} - c^{-\rho} = 1 + k\rho^{2} + o(\rho^{2})$$ and then $$\log(1 - (a^{-\rho} + b^{-\rho} - c^{-\rho})) = \log k + 2\log\rho + o(1)$$ and when we divide by $\log \rho$ we can see that the desired limit is $2$.
