, in geometry - Monotone preferencesMonotone preferencesIn economics, an agent's preferences are said to be weakly monotonic if, given a consumption bundle x, the agent prefers all consumption bundles y that have more of every good. That is, y \gg x implies y\succ x. An agent's preferences are said to be strongly monotonic if, given a consumption...

- Monotonicity of entailmentMonotonicity of entailmentMonotonicity of entailment is a property of many logical systems that states that the hypotheses of any derived fact may be freely extended with additional assumptions. In sequent calculi this property can be captured by an inference rule called weakening, or sometimes thinning, and in such...
