monotone function noun

  • (calculus) A function f : X→R (where X is a subset of R, possibly a discrete set) that either never decreases or never increases as its independent variable increases; that is, either x ≤ y implies f(x) ≤ f(y) or x ≤ y implies f(y) ≤ f(x).
  • (order theory, analysis) A function f : X→Y (where X and Y are posets with partial order "≤") with either: (1) the property that x ≤ y implies f(x) ≤ f(y), or (2) the property that x ≤ y implies f(y) ≤ f(x).
