contents Let $I$ be an ideal in a commutative Noetherian ring $R$. We say that a positive integer $\ell_0$ is the strong persistence index of $I$ if $\ell_0$ is the smallest integer such that $(I^{\ell+1} :_R I) = I^{\ell}$ for all $\ell \geq \ell_0$. The first aim of this paper is to study this notion for monomial ideals. We also introduce the notion of fluctuation in colon powers if there exist positive integers $a < b < c$ such that at least one of the following cases occurs: (i) $(I^{a} : I) = I^{a-1}$, $(I^{b} : I) \neq I^{b-1}$, but $(I^{c} : I) = I^{c-1}$. (ii) $(I^{a} : I) \neq I^{a-1}$, $(I^{b} : I) = I^{b-1}$, but $(I^{c} : I) \neq I^{c-1}$. The second purpose of this work is to study this phenomenon for monomial ideals.

Let $I$ be an ideal in a commutative Noetherian ring $R$. We say that a positive integer $\ell_0$ is the strong persistence index of $I$ if $\ell_0$ is the smallest integer such that $(I^{\ell+1} :_R I) = I^{\ell}$ for all $\ell \geq \ell_0$. The first aim of this paper is to study this notion for monomial ideals. We also introduce the notion of fluctuation in colon powers if there exist positive integers $a < b < c$ such that at least one of the following cases occurs: (i) $(I^{a} : I) = I^{a-1}$, $(I^{b} : I) \neq I^{b-1}$, but $(I^{c} : I) = I^{c-1}$. (ii) $(I^{a} : I) \neq I^{a-1}$, $(I^{b} : I) = I^{b-1}$, but $(I^{c} : I) \neq I^{c-1}$. The second purpose of this work is to study this phenomenon for monomial ideals.
