Abstract

We demonstrate how any conditionally convergent series of real numbers can be regrouped as an absolutely convergent series. The regrouping can be expressed using a monotone subsequence of partial sums. The result can be extended to series of real-valued functions under specific conditions; these cases, as well as a constructive counterexample, are presented in detail.
