## A monotonicity theorem for dp-minimal densely ordered groups.(English)Zbl 1184.03035

Summary: dp-minimality is a common generalization of weak minimality and weak o-minimality. If $$T$$ is a weakly o-minimal theory then it is dp-minimal, but there are dp-minimal densely ordered groups that are not weakly o-minimal. We introduce the even more general notion of inp-minimality and prove that in an inp-minimal densely ordered group, every definable unary function is a union of finitely many continuous locally monotonic functions.
