Divergent (film Series)
Divergence is a function that associates a scalar with every point of a vector field. Divergence or Divergent may also refer to: Mathematics * Divergence (computer science), a computation which does not terminate (or terminates in an exceptional state) * Divergence, the defining property of divergent series; series that do not converge to a finite limit * Divergence, a result of instability of a dynamical system in stability theory Statistics * Divergence (statistics), a measure of dissimilarity between probability measures ** Bregman divergence ** ''f''-divergence ** Jensen–Shannon divergence ** Kullback–Leibler divergence, also known as the "information divergence" in probability theory and information theory ** Rényi's divergence Science * Divergent boundary, a linear feature that exists between tectonic plates that are moving away from each other * Divergence (eye), the simultaneous outward movement of both eyes away from each other * Divergence problem, an anomal ...

Divergence
In vector calculus, divergence is a vector operator that operates on a vector field, producing a scalar field giving the quantity of the vector field's source at each point. More technically, the divergence represents the volume density of the outward flux of a vector field from an infinitesimal volume around a given point. As an example, consider air as it is heated or cooled. The velocity of the air at each point defines a vector field. While air is heated in a region, it expands in all directions, and thus the velocity field points outward from that region. The divergence of the velocity field in that region would thus have a positive value. While the air is cooled and thus contracting, the divergence of the velocity has a negative value. Physical interpretation of divergence In physical terms, the divergence of a vector field is the extent to which the vector field flux behaves like a source at a given point. It is a local measure of its "outgoingness" – the extent ...
