3. not comparablechemistryIn the same state of matter.
4. not comparablemathematicsIn any of several technical senses uniform; scalable; having its behavior or form determined by, or the same as, its behavior on or form at a smaller component (of its domain of definition, of itself, etc.).
   1. not comparablealgebraSuch that all its nonzero terms have the same degree.

      The polynomial x²+5xy+y² is homogeneous of degree 2, because x², xy, and y² are all degree 2 monomials

   2. not comparableby specializationlinear algebraSuch that all the constant terms are zero.
   3. not comparablegeneralizing the case of polynomial functionsmathematical analysisSuch that if each of f 's inputs are multiplied by the same scalar, f 's output is multiplied by the same scalar to some fixed power (called the degree of homogeneity or degree of f). (Formally and more generally, of a partial function f between vector spaces whose domain is a linear cone) Satisfying the equality f(s mathbf x)=sᵏᶠ(

6. In ordinary differential equations (by analogy with the case for polynomial and functional homogeneity):
   1. not comparableCapable of being written in the form f(x,y) mathop dy=g(x,y) mathop dx where f and g are homogeneous functions of the same degree as each other.
   2. not comparableHaving its degree-zero term equal to zero; admitting the trivial solution.
   3. not comparableHomogeneous as a function of the dependent variable and its derivatives.
7. In abstract algebra and geometry:
   1. not comparablering theoryBelonging to one of the summands of the grading (if the ring is graded over the natural numbers and the element is in the kth summand, it is said to be homogeneous of degree k; if the ring is graded over a commutative monoid I, and the element is an element of the ith summand, it is said to be of grade i)
   2. not comparableWhich respects the grading of its domain and codomain. Formally: Satisfying f(V_j)⊆W_i+j for fixed i (called the degree or grade of f), V_j the jth component of the grading of f 's domain, W_k the kth component of the grading of f 's codomain, and + representing the monoid operation in I.
   3. not comparablegeometryInformally: Everywhere the same, uniform, in the sense that any point can be moved to any other (via the group action) while respecting the structure of the space. Formally: Such that the group action is transitively and acts by automorphisms on the space (some authors also require that the action be faithful).
   4. not comparablegeometryOf or relating to homogeneous coordinates.
8. In miscellaneous other senses:
   1. not comparableFourier analysismathematicsInformally: Determined by its restriction to the unit sphere. Formally: Such that, for all real t>0 and test functions ϕ( mathbf x), the equality S[t⁻ⁿϕ( mathbf x/t)]=t^(mS)[ϕ( mathbf x)] holds for some fixed real or complex m.
   2. not comparablemathematicsHolding between a set and itself; being an endorelation.
