gleichmäßiger

Gleichmäßiger is the comparative form of the German adjective gleichmäßig, meaning uniform, regular, or steady. It is used to compare two or more things with regard to their degree of uniformity, regularity, or consistency.

Grammatically, gleichmäßig is an attributive adjective that takes the appropriate endings before nouns: der gleichmäßigere Rhythmus, eine gleichmäßigere Verteilung, die gleichmäßigeren Ergebnisse. In predicative use after sein, werden, etc., it agrees in gender and number: Der Rhythmus ist gleichmäßiger geworden. The adverbial use of gleichmäßig exists for indicating manner (evenly, regularly), but it does not form a separate standard comparative; the comparison is expressed with the adjective form in predicative or attributive position when appropriate.

In everyday and technical language, gleichmäßig describes physical processes, data, or patterns that show even distribution or regular progression. Examples include eine gleichmäßigere Temperaturverteilung or der Verlauf wird gleichmäßiger. In scientific and mathematical contexts the term also appears in fixed expressions such as gleichmäßig verteilt (uniformly distributed), gleichmäßig stetig (uniformly continuous), or gleichmäßige Konvergenz (uniform convergence). The comparative form gleichmäßiger is used when contrasting two situations or datasets in terms of their degree of uniformity.

Etymology and related terms: gleichmäßig derives from gleich (equal) and mäßig (measured), conveying “in a measured, uniform way.” Related concepts include Gleichmäßigkeit (uniformity/regularity) and synonyms like regelmäßig or gleichförmig; antonyms include unregelmäßig or inkonsistent.
