In mathematics, a function f(x) between two ordered sets is unimodal if for some value m (the mode), it is monotonically increasing for xm and monotonically decreasing for xm. In that case, the maximum value of f(x) is f(m) and there are no other local maxima.

Examples of unimodal function:

Function \ f(x) is "S-unimodal" if its Schwartzian derivative is negative for all \ x \ne  0.

In probability and statistics, a "unimodal probability distribution" is a probability distribution whose probability density function is a unimodal function, or more generally, whose cumulative distribution function is convex up to m and concave thereafter (this allows for the possibility of a non-zero probability for x=m). For a unimodal probability distribution of a continuous random variable, the Vysochanskii-Petunin inequality provides a refinement of the Chebyshev inequality. Compare multimodal distribution.
