Abstract
Broadly speaking, monotone dynamics means that some partial order is preserved under the dynamics, that is, if two solutions of some differential equation are ordered at an initial time, they remain in the same order at later times; we also speak of order-preserving dynamics. This monotonicity property makes the dynamics comparatively simple.
