  2. Monotonic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotonic_function

    Figure 1. A monotonically non-decreasing function Figure 2. A monotonically non-increasing function Figure 3. A function that is not monotonic. In mathematics, a monotonic function (or monotone function) is a function between ordered sets that preserves or reverses the given order.

  3. 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.

  4. Negative energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_energy

    The negative-energy particle then crosses the event horizon into the black hole, with the law of conservation of energy requiring that an equal amount of positive energy should escape. In the Penrose process , a body divides in two, with one half gaining negative energy and falling in, while the other half gains an equal amount of positive ...

  5. Discontinuities of monotone functions - Wikipedia

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

    As explained in Riesz & Sz.-Nagy (1990), every non-decreasing non-negative function F can be decomposed uniquely as a sum of a jump function f and a continuous monotone function g: the jump function f is constructed by using the jump data of the original monotone function F and it is easy to check that g = F − f is continuous and monotone. [10]

  6. Monotone convergence theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotone_convergence_theorem

    In particular, infinite sums of non-negative numbers converge to the supremum of the partial sums if and only if the partial sums are bounded. For sums of non-negative increasing sequences 0 ≤ a i , 1 ≤ a i , 2 ≤ ⋯ {\displaystyle 0\leq a_{i,1}\leq a_{i,2}\leq \cdots } , it says that taking the sum and the supremum can be interchanged.

  7. Negentropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negentropy

    This is the same energy as the work Leó Szilárd's engine produces in the idealistic case. In his book, [ 18 ] he further explored this problem concluding that any cause of this bit value change (measurement, decision about a yes/no question, erasure, display, etc.) will require the same amount of energy.

  8. Exergonic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exergonic_reaction

    The change of Gibbs free energy (ΔG) in an exergonic reaction (that takes place at constant pressure and temperature) is negative because energy is lost (2). In chemical thermodynamics, an exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction where the change in the free energy is negative (there is a net release of free energy). [1]

  9. Zero-energy universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-energy_universe

    This is the principle behind what happened at the beginning of the universe. When the Big Bang produced a massive amount of positive energy, it simultaneously produced the same amount of negative energy. In this way, the positive and the negative add up to zero, always. It's another law of nature. So where is all this negative energy today?
