-
Engineers checked why the model was still unconverged after several hours of computation.
-
If the process is unconverged, the final outcome cannot be trusted.
-
The calculations remain unconverged after several iterations.
-
Our results are still unconverged due to the complex variables.
-
Since the data was unconverged, we could not draw any reliable conclusions from the experiment.
-
The algorithm's output was deemed unconverged, necessitating further optimization to achieve consistent results.
Synonyms

Morphology
unconverged = converged (transparent) = un + converge + ed
The adjective 'converged' (often used of processes or calculations) is negated by 'un-' in a regular way, preserving the technical sense.
Etymology
The word unconverged has un- 'not' plus converge, which can mean 'move to one point' or 'come together', so picture a calculation or process that keeps changing and never settles to a single answer. So unconverged means the process has not reached a stable or final state.
