Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the monotonicity criterion for the utility functions defined in the preference field. We provide numerous examples of nonmonotonic (locally decreasing) utility functions. We investigate the possibility of introducing preference relation by employing utility functions. Moreover, we define the phenomenon of insufficiency in the field of the preference defined by the utility function.
