Mar 19, 2023 at 10:55 comment added Michael Greinecker Every function $f:X\to Y$ satisfies that $A\subseteq B$ implies $f(A)\subseteq f(B)$ without any further condition.
Mar 19, 2023 at 10:38 comment added stalinon @MichaelGreinecker Generalized isotonic mappings of sets are functions that preserve the order of sets, but they also allow the possibility of incomparability. More formally, a function f: X → Y is isotonic if for any subsets A, B of X, if A ⊆ B and there is no x in A and y in B such that x is not comparable to y, then f(A) ⊆ f(B).
Mar 19, 2023 at 10:36 comment added stalinon @YCor I used a more general term due to my own inexperience. studying mathematics in my undergraduate degree, I did not come across such terms even in my native language, and my technical English is not good enough for a correct translation. Sorry about that, "isotonic maps between posets" is indeed more correct
Mar 19, 2023 at 10:33 comment added Michael Greinecker That leaves open the question of what you mean by generalized isotonic mappings.
Mar 19, 2023 at 10:27 comment added YCor I've added the definition in the post and edited the tags. I guess this is also sometimes called "order-preserving" and has several other names. I'm not sure "isotonic maps of sets" makes sense, why not "isotonic maps between posets"?

Mar 19, 2023 at 10:21 comment added stalinon @YCor An isotonic mapping is a function between two partially ordered sets that preserves the ordering between the elements. Specifically, given two partially ordered sets (X, ≤) and (Y, ≤), a function f: X → Y is isotonic if for any x, y ∈ X such that x ≤ y, it is true that f(x) ≤ f(y).
