Let f(t) be an operator monotone function. Then A≤B implies f(A)≤f(B), but the converse implication is not true. Let A{music sharp sign}B be the geometric mean of A, B≥0. If A≤B, then B-1{music sharp sign}A≤I; the converse implication is not true either. We will show that if f(λB+I)-1{music sharp sign}f(λA+I)≤I for all sufficiently small λ>0, then f(λA+I)≤f(λB+I) and A≤B. Moreover, we extend it to multi-variable matrices means
