4

spreading of a beam or flow

how much a beam spreads out

Mẫu sử dụng: [beam/laser] divergence
Lỗi thường gặp:
Often used as a measurable property (e.g., milliradians), not just a general idea of ‘difference.’
Từ đồng nghĩa
spread (Less precise; not necessarily a measured optical property.)
Từ trái nghĩa
collimation (Keeping rays parallel; minimizing spread.)
Cụm từ đi kèm
laser divergence |beam divergence |low divergence |high divergence |angular divergence |reduce divergence |measure divergence |divergence angle
Chủ đề
science |technology
Ví dụ

5

difference between probability distributions

a number that shows how different two probability patterns are

Mẫu sử dụng: divergence between [distributions/models]
Lỗi thường gặp:
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).
Từ đồng nghĩa
distance (Often used informally; many divergences are not true mathematical distances.)
Từ trái nghĩa
similarity (General opposite idea (not a specific technical measure).)
Cụm từ đi kèm
KL divergence |Kullback–Leibler divergence |Jensen–Shannon divergence |estimate divergence |minimize divergence |divergence measure |divergence between distributions |distributional divergence
Chủ đề
math |data_science |technology

6

net outward flow at a point

a math value showing how much a field spreads out

Mẫu sử dụng: the divergence of [a vector field]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Not the same as ‘divergence’ meaning disagreement; this is a specific mathematical operator (∇·F).
Từ đồng nghĩa
∇·F (Symbolic name for the same operator.)
Từ trái nghĩa
curl (Different vector-calculus operator describing rotation, not outflow.)
Cụm từ đi kèm
compute the divergence |the divergence of a field |positive divergence |negative divergence |divergence operator |zero divergence |divergence-free field |take the divergence
Chủ đề
math |physics |engineering
Ví dụ
  • The divergence of the velocity field is zero for an incompressible fluid.

7

price and indicator moving differently

when price and an indicator show different trends

Mẫu sử dụng: divergence between [price] and [indicator]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Not all divergences predict a reversal; it is often treated as a warning sign rather than proof.
Từ đồng nghĩa
disconnect (More informal; less precise than the charting term.)
Từ trái nghĩa
confirmation (When price and indicator support the same trend.)
Cụm từ đi kèm
bullish divergence |bearish divergence |RSI divergence |MACD divergence |spot divergence |a divergence signal |hidden divergence |momentum divergence |divergence between price and RSI
Chủ đề
finance |business

8

species becoming more different over time

when groups of living things become more different

Mẫu sử dụng: genetic/evolutionary divergence between [populations/species]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Distinguish from ‘diversity’: divergence is a process of becoming different, not the amount of variety at one time.
Từ đồng nghĩa
differentiation (More general; not always specifically evolutionary.)
Từ trái nghĩa
convergence (Independent evolution toward similar traits.)
Cụm từ đi kèm
genetic divergence |evolutionary divergence |divergence time |divergence between species |rapid divergence |divergence due to isolation |measure divergence |phylogenetic divergence
