4

spreading of a beam or flow

how much a beam spreads out

사용 패턴: [beam/laser] divergence

Often used as a measurable property (e.g., milliradians), not just a general idea of ‘difference.’
유의어
spread (Less precise; not necessarily a measured optical property.)
반의어
collimation (Keeping rays parallel; minimizing spread.)
연어
laser divergence |beam divergence |low divergence |high divergence |angular divergence |reduce divergence |measure divergence |divergence angle
주제
science |technology
예문

5

difference between probability distributions

a number that shows how different two probability patterns are

사용 패턴: divergence between [distributions/models]
자주 하는 실수:
In statistics/ML, ‘divergence’ often refers to a family of measures and may not be symmetric (A to B may differ from B to A).
유의어
distance (Often used informally; many divergences are not true mathematical distances.)
반의어
similarity (General opposite idea (not a specific technical measure).)
연어
KL divergence |Kullback–Leibler divergence |Jensen–Shannon divergence |estimate divergence |minimize divergence |divergence measure |divergence between distributions |distributional divergence
주제
math |data_science |technology
예문
  • They used KL divergence to compare the model’s predictions with the observed data.

6

net outward flow at a point

a math value showing how much a field spreads out

사용 패턴: the divergence of [a vector field]
자주 하는 실수:
Not the same as ‘divergence’ meaning disagreement; this is a specific mathematical operator (∇·F).
유의어
∇·F (Symbolic name for the same operator.)
반의어
curl (Different vector-calculus operator describing rotation, not outflow.)
연어
compute the divergence |the divergence of a field |positive divergence |negative divergence |divergence operator |zero divergence |divergence-free field |take the divergence
주제
math |physics |engineering
예문
  • The divergence of the velocity field is zero for an incompressible fluid.
  • We computed the divergence to locate sources and sinks in the flow.
  • A positive divergence indicates net outward flux near that point.

7

price and indicator moving differently

when price and an indicator show different trends

사용 패턴: divergence between [price] and [indicator]
자주 하는 실수:
Not all divergences predict a reversal; it is often treated as a warning sign rather than proof.
유의어
disconnect (More informal; less precise than the charting term.)
반의어
confirmation (When price and indicator support the same trend.)
연어
bullish divergence |bearish divergence |RSI divergence |MACD divergence |spot divergence |a divergence signal |hidden divergence |momentum divergence |divergence between price and RSI
주제
finance |business
예문

8

species becoming more different over time

when groups of living things become more different

사용 패턴: genetic/evolutionary divergence between [populations/species]
자주 하는 실수:
Distinguish from ‘diversity’: divergence is a process of becoming different, not the amount of variety at one time.
유의어
differentiation (More general; not always specifically evolutionary.)
반의어
convergence (Independent evolution toward similar traits.)
연어
genetic divergence |evolutionary divergence |divergence time |divergence between species |rapid divergence |divergence due to isolation |measure divergence |phylogenetic divergence
