We provide suitable conditions under which the asymptotic limit of the Hilbert-Samuel coefficients of the Frobenius powers of an

p>0.
This, in turn, gives an expression of the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of powers of the ideal. We also prove that for a face ring
R
R
of a simplicial complex and an ideal

generated by pure powers of the variables, the generalized Hilbert-Kunz function

and also give an expression of the generalized Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of powers of

We conclude by giving a counter-example to a conjecture proposed by I. Smirnov which connects the stability of an ideal with the asymptotic limit of the first Hilbert coefficient of the Frobenius power of the ideal.
