nondecreasing
Always staying up
Nondecreasing describes a sequence or function that never goes down—each value is greater than or equal to the one before it.
The term appears in mathematics and computer science: a nondecreasing sequence of integers, sorted in nondecreasing order.
Unlike strictly increasing, nondecreasing allows consecutive values to be equal.
