👉 Monotropy is a mathematical concept that refers to a property of functions, graphs, or other mathematical objects where they are either monotonically increasing or decreasing. The term "monotropy" originates from the fact that if a function is monotonically increasing (i.e., it increases without bound) on an interval, then it will also be monotonically decreasing on the same interval. Similarly, if a function is monotonically decreasing (i.e., it decreases without bound) on
