  • The simulation results were unconverged after numerous iterations, indicating instability in the model.

Examples

  • The results remained unconverged even after increasing the number of iterations in the algorithm.

  • 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.

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.
