Like Brian, I think part of he problem is possibly a miscommunication based on "monotonically increasing". The term means that each point is greater than, *or equal to*, the previous one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotonic_function. In other words, it never decreases. In the example given (https://play.golang.org/p/RJbEkmFsPKM <https://play.golang.org/p/RJbEkmFsPKM>), the capacities *are *"monotonically increasing", as no number in the second column is smaller than the one before it.
