VTRMC 2006 Problem 5

    Let {an}\{a_n\} be a monotonically decreasing sequence of positive real numbers with limit 00 . Let {bn}\{b_n\} be a rearrangement of the sequence such that for every non-negative integer mm , the terms b3m+1b_{3m+1} , b3m+2b_{3m+2} , b3m+3b_{3m+3} are a rearrangement of the terms a3m+1a_{3m+1} , a3m+2a_{3m+2} , a3m+3a_{3m+3} . Prove or give a counterexample to the following statement: the series ∑n=1∞(−1)nbn\sum_{n=1}^\infty(-1)^nb_n is convergent.
