Abstract

This chapter collects basic results on various stronger notions of monotonicity (para, strict, uniform, strong, and cyclic) and their relationships to properties of convex functions. A fundamental result is Rockafellar’s characterization of maximally cyclically monotone operators as subdifferential operators and a corresponding uniqueness result for the underlying convex function.
