what function could do something like this? (pic related)
it exponentially increases when it gets close to R but after it gets too close, it exponentially decreases
Gaussian distributions.

I forgot to say, the exponential decrease as to be much more faster than the exponential increase, is there any way to trunk a gaussian distribution for this?

Gaussian distribution, maybe you could say Lorentzian, but certainly not a function you learned in high school.

reverse Milankovitch cycle

Sure. Just envelope it with some function that kicks in after R and make sure it keeps it continuous at R. It won't be a Gaussian distribution anymore and it'll be ugly since it's piecewise but it'll do what you want.

same poster, Rayleigh distribution is what you're looking for actually, that'd be better.

Attractiveness of breasts

OP didn't post a monotonically increasing function, though.
>>7954217
I'm guessing he meant with respect to size as size increases. In which case I'd agree. Huge boobs are not attractive at all.

is there any way to reverse it? It does exactly what I want but in the oposite way: it increases greatly that it decreases
>>7954229
Reflect it across the y-axis.

ah, this, obviously, thanks anon
fourier
f(x)
= -1+e^x for x in [0;R]
= -1+e^(R-(R-x)^2) for x in [R;+infinity]

asymmetric/skew normal distribution
>>7954171
[eqn] f(x)= \begin {cases} e^{x} & \text {if } ~ x < R \\ 0 & \text {if} ~ x \geq R \end {cases} [/eqn]

Am I the only one who had a good laugh at this post?
>>7954171
looks like the energy profile of some kind of exergonic reaction (i googled that word)
maybe chemists have some canonical form for this sort of thing
>>7954171
A piece-wise function with the discontinuity removed.
