Abstract
A missing integer in a partition is a positive integer less than the largest part of that does not appear as a part in . In the recent paper On the number of missing integers in partitions, Bhoria, Eyyunni, and Santra examined the number of partitions (overpartitions) of with a fixed number of missing integers and established generating functions, identities, and congruences for them. In this article, we provide combinatorial proofs for several of their results.
