normal (ordinal) function (Definition)
Definition 1   A function $ F\colon{\mathrm{\mathbf{On}}}\to{\mathrm{\mathbf{On}}}$ is continuous if and only if for each $ u\subset{\mathrm{\mathbf{On}}}$ such that $ u\neq\emptyset$ it holds that $ F(\sup(u))=\sup\{F(\alpha)\vert\alpha\in u\}$.
Definition 2   A function $ F\colon{\mathrm{\mathbf{On}}}\to{\mathrm{\mathbf{On}}}$ is order preserving if and only if for each $ \alpha,\beta\in{\mathrm{\mathbf{On}}}$ such that $ \alpha<\beta$ it follows that $ F(\alpha)<F(\beta)$.
Definition 3   A function $ F\colon{\mathrm{\mathbf{On}}}\to{\mathrm{\mathbf{On}}}$ is a normal function if and only if $ F$ is continuous and order preserving.
