Definition:Strictly Monotone/Sequence

Definition
Let $\left({S, \preceq}\right)$ be a totally ordered set.

Then a sequence $\left \langle {a_k} \right \rangle_{k \in A}$ of terms of $S$ is strictly monotone if it is either strictly increasing or strictly decreasing.

Real Sequence
The above definition for sequences is usually applied to real number sequences.
