Summary: We continue a study of the equivalence class induced on $$S_n$$ when one is permitted to replace a consecutive set of elements in a permutation with the same elements in a different order. For each possible set of allowed replacements, we characterise and/or enumerate the set of permutations reachable from the identity. In some cases we also count the number of equivalence classes.
For the entire collection see [Zbl 1239.05002].
