Combinatorial proofs of some identities on overpartitions with repeated smallest non-overlined part
Abstract
Let denote the number of overpartitions of where the smallest non-overlined part, say , appears times and every overlined part is bigger than . Let denote the number of overpartitions of where the smallest non-overlined part appears times, every overlined part is bigger than and all parts other than are incongruent modulo with . Also, let (resp., ) denote the number of overpartitions of counted by where the number of parts greater than is even (resp., odd), and let Recently, Malik and Sarma (arXiv:2601.15601v1) expressed the generating functions of these partition functions in terms of linear combinations of -series with polynomials in as coefficients. As corollaries, they derived some partition identities involving the functions for and sought for combinatorial proofs of their results. In this paper, we present some desired proofs.
