Permutations preserving sums of rearranged real series

Roman Wituła (2013)

Open Mathematics

The aim of this paper is to discuss one of the most interesting and unsolved problems of the real series theory: rearrangements that preserve sums of series. Certain hypothesis about combinatorial description of the corresponding permutations is presented and basic algebraic properties of the family 𝔖 0 , introduced by it, are investigated.

Permutations which make transitive groups primitive

Pedro Lopes (2009)

Open Mathematics

In this article we look into characterizing primitive groups in the following way. Given a primitive group we single out a subset of its generators such that these generators alone (the so-called primitive generators) imply the group is primitive. The remaining generators ensure transitivity or comply with specific features of the group. We show that, other than the symmetric and alternating groups, there are infinitely many primitive groups with one primitive generator each. These primitive groups...
