0 with the sound staying on the same note without going higher or lower when someone is speaking: --
He speaks monotonically, with little intonation.
Speak with expression, not monotonically.
1 in a way that only ever increases, or only ever gets less: --
Since logic variables are constrained monotonically, they can express monotonic synchronization.
Non-monotonic system evolution: whereas the evolutionary model of integration should ensure that the system functionality increases monotonically, this was not always the case.
Spike rates under both conditions increased almost monotonically.
For example, with 401(k) plans, eligibility, participation, and contributions all rise monotonically with income.
The third property means that the replication frequency per plasmid is a monotonically decreasing function of the inhibitor concentration.
In all of these cases, the values of the bounds change monotonically as the computation progresses.
For example, in the yacht-design domain, we believe that optimal beam is monotonically increasing in wind speed, and monotonically decreasing in heading.
When genetic variance is constant across ages, the true variance is observed only at age 0, after which the observed variance declines monotonically with age.
