membership functionnoun(mathematics) A generalization of the indicator function for a fuzzy set which assigns a truth value (0 or 1) to each element.
inclusion functionnoun(mathematics) A function whose domain is a subset of its codomain, and for which all of the elements in its domain are fixed points.
odd functionnoun(mathematics) Any function whose value changes sign if the independent variable changes sign i.e. f(-x) = -f(x)

monotonic functionnoun(mathematics) A function that either never decreases or never increases as its independent variable increases.
continuous functionnoun(mathematical analysis) a function whose value at any point in its domain is equal its limit at the same point
monotone functionnoun(calculus) A function f : X→R (where X is a subset of R, possibly a discrete set) that either never decreases or never increases as its independent variable increases; that is, either x ≤ y implies f(x) ≤ f(y) or x ≤ y implies f(y) ≤ f(x).
