Definition

Let $\struct {S, \preceq_1}$ and $\struct {T, \preceq_2}$ be ordered sets.

Let $\phi: \struct {S, \preceq_1} \to \struct {T, \preceq_2}$ be a mapping.


Then $\phi$ is strictly monotone if and only if it is either strictly increasing or strictly decreasing.


Note that this definition also holds if $S = T$.


Also known as

This can also be called strictly monotonic.
