If $K$ and $F$ are monotone, when is $I+KF$ monotone?

28 Views Asked by At

It is known that if $K$ and $F$ are monotone, that $I+KF$ may not be monotone. For example, if $F(x,y)=(x+y, y-x) $ and $K(u,v)=(u+2v, v-2u)$ then $F$ and $K$ are monotone. However, $I+KF$ is not monotone. Question: What is the sufficient condition for the composotion of the two maps to be monotone? Or can the mapping $I+KF$ be written as the composition of some other mappings that are Monotone?
