Describes a first-order Kripke model for modal logic in which the domain of any possible world is a subset of any world accessible from , i.e., in which the domains are monotonic. Formally, where represents the domain of individuals of a world , this is represented by the semantic condition:
If then
For normal first-order modal logics, the semantic condition of increasing domains corresponds to the validity of the converse Barcan formula
Increasing domain models are special cases of variable domain models.
