Abstract

Let ℝd* = ℝd ∪ {[midast ]} be the one-point compactification of Euclidean space ℝd and d [ges ] 2. Given a permutation f of the set ℕ of positive integers, let [Cscr ]f(ℝd*) denote the set of all sets C ⊆ ℝd* for which there is a series [sum ]an in ℝd with zero sum such that C is the cluster set in ℝd* of the sequence of partial sums of [sum ]af(n). Every C ∈ [Cscr ]f(ℝd*) is non-empty, connected and closed in ℝd*. We give a combinatorial characterization of the permutations f for which all non-empty closed connected subsets of ℝd* belong to [Cscr ]f(ℝd*). For every permutation f of ℕ, we determine all C ∈ [Cscr ]f(ℝd*) which contain [midast ].
