mittekõver

Mittekõver is an Estonian term that translates to "non-curve" in English. It refers to a sequence of points that are not arranged in a smooth, continuous curve. Instead, a mittekõver might be characterized by sharp turns, sudden changes in direction, or distinct, unconnected segments. The term is often used in contrast to a kõver, which implies a flowing, unbroken line.

In practical applications, a mittekõver can represent data points that do not follow a predictable pattern, or it can describe a path that involves abrupt shifts. For example, the trajectory of a particle undergoing random motion might be described as a mittekõver. Similarly, in computer graphics, a series of disconnected points or a polyline with sharp angles could be considered a mittekõver. The concept emphasizes the discrete and potentially irregular nature of the spatial arrangement of points. It's a descriptive term that highlights the absence of smooth interpolation or a continuous mathematical function describing the path.
