Abstract
In this paper, we present a new Rogers--Ramanujan type identity for overpartitions by extending the asymmetrical version of Schur's theorem due to Lovejoy to a broader class of infinite products. More precisely, we provide a combinatorial interpretation of the following product, for any positive integer , as a generating function for a class of overpartitions in which parts appear in colors: Our proof is bijective and unifies two earlier approaches: Lovejoy's bijective proof of the asymmetrical Schur theorem and the iterative-bijective technique developed by Corteel and Lovejoy.
