Let \(\sigma: N\to N\) be a permutation of \(N\), let \(\sigma^ k(n)\neq n\) for each \(k\), \(n\in N\) \((\sigma^ k\) denotes the \(k\)-th iteration of \(\sigma\)). A sequence \(x=(x_ k)\in\ell_{\infty}\) is said to be strongly \(\sigma\)-convergent to \(L\) if \[ \lim_{p\to\infty}{1\over p+1}\sum^ p_{i=0}\left| x_{\sigma^ i(n)}-L\right|=0 \] uniformly in \(n\). In connection with the concept of strongly \(\sigma\)- convergent sequences the authors introduce the notion of strong \(\sigma\)- regularity of a summability method of series and give characterizations of such summability methods.
