L’Hôpital’s monotone rule, Gromov’s theorem, and operations that preserve the monotonicity of quotients. (English) Zbl 1474.26036

Summary: We study several operators \(T\) that when applied to both the numerator and denominator of an increasing, or decreasing, function \(u/v\) produce another increasing, or decreasing, function \(T(u)/T(v)\). We also give new proofs of the monotone form of L’Hôpital’s rule and of Gromov’s theorem.
