In some symmetric spaces monotonicity properties can be reduced to the cone of rearrangements

Geometric properties being the rearrangement counterparts of strict monotonicity, lower local uniform monotonicity and upper local uniform monotonicity in some symmetric spaces are considered. The relationships between strict monotonicity, upper local uniform monotonicity restricted to rearrangements and classical monotonicity properties (sometimes under some additional assumptions) are showed. It is proved that order continuity and lower uniform monotonicity properties for rearrangements of symmetric spaces together are equivalent to the classical lower local uniform monotonicity for any symmetric space over a \({\sigma}\)-finite complete and non-atomic measure space. It is also showed that in the case of order continuous symmetric spaces over a \({\sigma}\)-finite and complete measure space, upper local uniform monotonicity and its rearrangement counterpart shortly called ULUM* coincide. As an application of this result, in the case of a non-atomic complete finite measure a new proof of the theorem which is already known in the literature, giving the characterization of upper local uniform monotonicity of Orlicz–Lorentz spaces, is presented. Finally, it is proved that every rotund and reflexive space X such that both X and X* have the Kadec-Klee property is locally uniformly rotund. Some other results are also given in the first part of Sect. 2.     

Generalized Invexity and Generalized Invariant Monotonicity

In this paper, several kinds of invariant monotone maps and generalized invariant monotone maps are introduced. Some examples are given which show that invariant monotonicity and generalized invariant monotonicity are proper generalizations of monotonicity and generalized monotonicity. Relationships between generalized invariant monotonicity and generalized invexity are established. Our results are generalizations of those presented by Karamardian and Schaible.     

New monotonicity formulas for Ricci curvature and applications. I

We prove three new monotonicity formulas for manifolds with a lower Ricci curvature bound and show that they are connected to rate of convergence to tangent cones. In fact, we show that the derivative of each of these three monotone quantities is bounded from below in terms of the Gromov?CHausdorff distance to the nearest cone. The monotonicity formulas are related to the classical Bishop?CGromov volume comparison theorem and Perelman??s celebrated monotonicity formula for the Ricci flow. We will explain the connection between all of these. Moreover, we show that these new monotonicity formulas are linked to a new sharp gradient estimate for the Green function that we prove. This is parallel to the fact that Perelman??s monotonicity is closely related to the sharp gradient estimate for the heat kernel of Li?CYau. In [CM4] one of the monotonicity formulas is used to show uniqueness of tangent cones with smooth cross-sections of Einstein manifolds. Finally, there are obvious parallelisms between our monotonicity and the positive mass theorem of Schoen?CYau and Witten.

MONOTONE POINTS IN ORLICZ-BOCHNER SEQUENCE SPACES

In Orlicz-Bochner sequence spaces endowed with Orlicz norm and Luxemburg norm, points of lower monotonicity, upper monotonicity, lower local uniform monotonicity and upper local uniform monotonicity are characterized.     

Monotonicity of control volume methods

Robustness of numerical methods for multiphase flow problems in porous media is important for development of methods to be used in a wide range of applications. Here, we discuss monotonicity for a simplified problem of single-phase flow, but where the simulation grids and media are allowed to be general, posing challenges to control-volume methods. We discuss discrete formulations of the maximum principle and derive sufficient criteria for discrete monotonicity for arbitrary nine-point control-volume discretizations for conforming quadrilateral grids in 2D. These criteria are less restrictive than the M-matrix property. It is shown that it is impossible to construct nine-point methods which unconditionally satisfy the monotonicity criteria when the discretization satisfies local conservation and exact reproduction of linear potential fields. Numerical examples are presented which show the validity of the criteria for monotonicity. Further, the impact of nonmonotonicity is studied. Different behavior for different discretization methods is illuminated, and simple ideas are presented for improvement in terms of monotonicity.     

Criteria for monotonicity properties of Musielak-Orlicz spaces equipped with the Amemiya norm

Criteria for strict monotonicity, lower local uniform monotonicity, upper local uniform monotonicity, and uniform monotonicity of Musielak-Orlicz spaces over any σ-finite and complete measure space, endowed with the Amemiya norm are given. The fact that the spaces are considered over arbitrary σ-finite measure space is essential because, as it is shown in Example 3, the Musielak-Orlicz spaces need not be strictly monotone even if their restrictions to the nonatomic part and the purely atomic part are strictly monotone.     

Monotonicity and best approximation in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces with the Luxemburg norm

Criteria for strict monotonicity, upper (lower) locally uniform monotonicity and uniform monotonicity of Orlicz-Sobolev spaces with the Luxemburg norm are given. Some applications to best approximation are presented.     

Sensitivity analysis for cocoercively monotone variational inclusions and (A,η)-maximal monotonicity

Sensitivity analysis for cocoercively monotone variational inclusions based on the generalized resolvent operator technique is discussed. The notion of the cocoercive monotonicity unifies most of the existing notions, such as cocoercivity, strong monotonicity, relaxed monotonicity, relaxed cocoercivity, and others. As a result, the obtained results are general in nature.     

Strong monotonicity for various means

Point-wise monotonicity (in parameters) for various one-parameter families of scalar means such as power difference means, binomial means and Stolarsky means is well known, but norm comparison for corresponding operator means requires monotonicity in the sense of positive definiteness. Among other things we obtain monotonicity in the sense of infinite divisibility, which is much stronger than that in the sense of positive definiteness. These strong monotonicity results are proved based on explicit computations for measures in relevant Lévy–Khintchine (or actually Kolmogorov) formulas.

Monotonicity Properties of Musielak–Orlicz Spaces and Dominated Best Approximation in Banach Lattices

Criteria for strict monotonicity, lower local uniform monotonicity, upper local uniform monotonicity and uniform monotonicity of a Musielak–Orlicz space endowed with the Amemiya norm and its subspace of order continuous elements are given in the cases of nonatomic and the counting measure space. To complete the results of Kurc (J. Approx. Theory69(1992), 173–187), criteria for upper local uniform monotonicity of these spaces equipped with the Luxemburg norm are also given. Some applications to dominated best approximation are presented.     

Different aspects of the monotonicity of a function

In this paper, we investigate which aspects are overriding in the concept images of monotonicity of Finnish tertiary mathematics students, i.e., on which aspects of monotonicity they base their argument in different types of exercises related to that concept. Further, we examine the relationship between the quality of principal aspects and the success in solving monotonicity exercises and a few other standard problems in calculus. Our findings indicate that a mathematics student's conception about monotone functions is often restricted to continuous or differentiable functions and the algebraic aspect – the nearest one to the formal definition of monotonicity – is rare.     

Characterizations of generalized monotone maps

This paper is a sequel to Ref. 1 in which several kinds of generalized monotonicity were introduced for maps. They were related to generalized convexity properties of functions in the case of gradient maps. In the present paper, we derive first-order characterizations of generalized monotone maps based on a geometrical analysis of generalized monotonicity. These conditions are both necessary and sufficient for generalized monotonicity. Specialized results are obtained for the affine case.     

The Hasegawa–Petz mean: Properties and inequalities

We study a family of means introduced by H. Hasegawa and D. Petz (1996) [13]. Properties with respect to the parameter, such as monotonicity and logarithmic concavity, further, monotonicity and concavity in the mean variables are shown. Besides, the comparison between the Hasegawa–Petz mean and the geometric mean is completely solved. The connection to earlier results on operator monotonicity and some applications are also discussed.     

The relation between non-bossiness and monotonicity

It is a well-known fact that in some economic environments, non-bossiness and monotonicity are interrelated. In this paper, we have presented a new domain-richness condition called weak monotonic closedness, on which non-bossiness in conjunction with individual monotonicity is equivalent to monotonicity. Moreover, by applying our main result to several types of economies, we have obtained characterizations in terms of non-bossiness.     

Monotonicity criteria for difference schemes designed for hyperbolic equations

Previously formulated monotonicity criteria for explicit two-level difference schemes designed for hyperbolic equations (S.K. Godunov’s, A. Harten’s (TVD schemes), characteristic criteria) are extended to multileveled, including implicit, stencils. The characteristic monotonicity criterion is used to develop a universal algorithm for constructing high-order accurate nonlinear monotone schemes (for an arbitrary form of the desired solution) based on their analysis in the space of grid functions. Several new fourth-to-third-order accurate monotone difference schemes on a compact three-level stencil and nonexpanding (three-point) stencils are proposed for an extended system, which ensures their monotonicity for both the desired function and its derivatives. The difference schemes are tested using the characteristic monotonicity criterion and are extended to systems of hyperbolic equations.     

Monotone Convergence of Iterative Methods for Singular Linear Systems

In this paper, monotonicity of iterative methods for solving general solvable singularly systems is discussed. The monotonicity results given by Berman, Plemmons, and Semal are generalized to singular systems. It is shown that for an iterative method introduced by a nonnegative splitting of the coefficient matrix there exist some initial guesses such that the iterative sequence converges towards a solution of the system from below or from above. The monotonicity of the block Gauss-Seidel method for solving a p-cyclic system and Markov chain is considered.     

Generalized monotonicity of a separable product of operators: The multivalued case

This paper addresses the question of the generalized monotonicity of a separable product of operators. We extend the results of an earlier paper to the case where the operators are not continuous and multivalued. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the generalized monotonicity of the product are given in terms of the monotonicity indices of the factors.
