Definition
递增 means 'to increase gradually' or 'to increase by degrees', emphasizing a steady, step-by-step rise (often in numbers, levels, or difficulty). It is more formal and specific than the general 增加 (zēngjiā 'increase'), and is commonly used in statistics, mathematics, and formal descriptions of progressive change.
