Abstract

In this paper the fundamental algebraic propeties of convergent and divergent permutations of ℕ are presented. A permutation p of ℕ is said to be divergent if at least one conditionally convergent series $∑ a_n$ of real terms is rearranged by p to a divergent series $∑ a_{p(n)}$. All other permutations of ℕ are called convergent. Some generalizations of the Riemann theorem about the set of limit points of the partial sums of rearrangements of a given conditionally convergent series are also studied.
