Journal of Convex Analysis 34 (2027), No. 1, 067--102 Copyright Heldermann Verlag 2027 General Monotonicity Mircea D. Voisei Baltimore, U.S.A. mdvoisei@yahoo.com This article employs techniques from convex analysis to present characterizations of (maximal) n-monotonicity, similar to the well-known characterizations of (maximal) monotonicity found in the existing literature. These characterizations are further illustrated through examples. Keywords: Dual system, maximal cyclically monotone operator, Fitzpatrick function, Rockafellar's antiderivative, planar rotation, skew double-cone. MSC: 47H05, 46N99, 47N10.
