Nichtuniformer

Nichtuniformer is the attributive form of the German adjective nichtuniform, meaning not uniform or lacking uniformity. It is used across technical and scientific disciplines to describe properties, distributions, or structures that do not have constant values or behavior across a domain. The term is context dependent and relies on the noun it modifies, for example nichtuniformer Spannungsverlauf (nonuniform stress distribution) or nichtuniformes Gitter (nonuniform grid).

In mathematics and numerical analysis, nichtuniform describes objects whose characteristics vary with position or time. Nichtuniforme Gitterordnungen have variable spacing between points, and nichtuniforme Verteilungen refer to probability distributions that are not constant over a domain. Nonuniform sampling and nonuniform Fourier transforms are related concepts used to handle irregularly spaced data.

In physics and engineering, nichtuniforme Medien or Materialien exhibit spatially varying properties such as refractive index, density, or elastic moduli. Nonuniform loading or boundary conditions lead to solutions that reflect spatial variation, as opposed to idealized uniform cases. Similarly, in fluid dynamics, nichtuniforme Strömungen change characteristics across the field.

In statistics and computer science, the term describes non-constant distributions or workloads. A nichtuniforme Verteilung assigns different probabilities to outcomes, and nichtuniforme Zugriffsmuster describe irregular memory or resource access.

Synonyms in German include unregelmäßig, ungleichmäßig, and nicht konstant, chosen according to the precise context. Nichtuniformer thus functions as a versatile descriptor for heterogeneity or variance in many domains.
