Let $\struct {S, \preceq}$ be an ordered set.

Let $\phi: S \to S$ be a mapping.


Then $\phi$ is inflationary if and only if:

$\forall s \in S: s \preceq \map \phi s$


Also known as

An inflationary mapping is also known as a progressive mapping or progressing mapping, particularly in the context of class theory, where the ordering on the underlying ordered set is the subset relation.

The term extensive mapping can also occasionally be seen, but this is not endorsed on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ because of its possible confusion with the concept of the Axiom of Extensionality.

Sources which prefer the term function to mapping will tend to use such here: inflationary function, progressing function, and so on.
