In mathematics, a '''Schur-convex function''', also known as '''S-convex''', '''isotonic function''' and '''order-preserving function''' is a [[function (mathematics)|function]] <math>f: \mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow \mathbb{R}</math>, for which if <math>\exists x,y\in \mathbb{R}^d </math> where <math>x</math> is [[majorization|majorized]] by <math>y</math>, then <math>f(x)\le f(y)</math>. Named after [[Issai Schur]], Schur-convex functions are used in the study of [[majorization]].
