mittevähenevalt

mittevähenevalt is an Estonian adverb. It translates to "non-decreasingly" or "in a non-decreasing manner" in English. This term is primarily used in mathematical and scientific contexts. It describes a sequence or function where each subsequent term or value is greater than or equal to the preceding one. For example, a sequence that goes 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5 would be described as increasing non-decreasingly. The key characteristic is that the values do not go down. In programming, when sorting algorithms are discussed, "mittevähenevalt" would refer to an ascending sort, where elements are arranged from smallest to largest, with duplicates allowed. The opposite of "mittevähenevalt" would be "kahanevalt", meaning decreasingly. The adverb emphasizes the continuous or intermittent upward trend without any dips.
