Abstract
This paper addresses the question of the generalized monotonicity of a separable product of operators. We extend the results of an earlier paper to the case where the operators are not continuous and multivalued. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the generalized monotonicity of the product are given in terms of the monotonicity indices of the factors.
