  2. Absolutely and completely monotonic functions and sequences

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolutely_and_completely...

    In the case of a completely monotonic function, the function and its derivatives must be alternately non-negative and non-positive in its domain of definition which would imply that function and its derivatives are alternately monotonically increasing and monotonically decreasing functions.

  3. Monotone comparative statics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotone_comparative_statics

    Monotone comparative statics is a sub-field of comparative statics that focuses on the conditions under which endogenous variables undergo monotone changes (that is, either increasing or decreasing) when there is a change in the exogenous parameters.

  4. Discontinuities of monotone functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discontinuities_of...

    For a monotone function , let mean that is monotonically non-decreasing and let mean that is monotonically non-increasing. Let f : [ a , b ] → R {\displaystyle f:[a,b]\to \mathbb {R} } is a monotone function and let D {\displaystyle D} denote the set of all points d ∈ [ a , b ] {\displaystyle d\in [a,b]} in the domain of f {\displaystyle f ...

  5. Monotone convergence theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotone_convergence_theorem

    The theorem states that if you have an infinite matrix of non-negative real numbers , such that the rows are weakly increasing and each is bounded , where the bounds are summable < then, for each column, the non decreasing column sums , are bounded hence convergent, and the limit of the column sums is equal to the sum of the "limit column ...

  6. Monotonic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotonic_function

    In calculus, a function defined on a subset of the real numbers with real values is called monotonic if it is either entirely non-decreasing, or entirely non-increasing. [2] That is, as per Fig. 1, a function that increases monotonically does not exclusively have to increase, it simply must not decrease.

  7. Concave function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concave_function

    A differentiable function f is (strictly) concave on an interval if and only if its derivative function f ′ is (strictly) monotonically decreasing on that interval, that is, a concave function has a non-increasing (decreasing) slope. [3] [4] Points where concavity changes (between concave and convex) are inflection points. [5]

    Exercise routines are likely to shift during this time as well. "[Alcohol] could impair certain stages of sleep, causing you to feel groggy and tired the following day," the expert said.

  9. Sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence

    If a sequence is either increasing or decreasing it is called a monotone sequence. This is a special case of the more general notion of a monotonic function. The terms nondecreasing and nonincreasing are often used in place of increasing and decreasing in order to avoid any possible confusion with strictly increasing and strictly decreasing ...
