| 1. | An important application of monotonic functions is in probability theory.
|
| 2. | If they are monotonic functions of each other, that is enough.
|
| 3. | What is needed is not that they are monotonic functions of their argument.

| 4. | Temperature is a monotonic function of the average molecular kinetic energy of a substance.
|
| 5. | The state progression is a monotonic function.
|
| 6. | The class of all preordered sets with monotonic functions as morphisms forms a category, "'Ord " '.

| 9. | It is relevant that for a system at constant volume and mole numbers, the entropy is a monotonic function of the internal energy.
|
| 10. | We can choose any monotonic function for our g ( T ); it is a matter of convenience and convention that we choose g ( T ) = T.
