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.
- Of the same kind; alike, similar.
- (of a linear map f between vector spaces graded by a commutative monoid I) Which 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.
- (geometry, of a space equipped with a group action) Informally: 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).
- (set theory, order theory, of a relation) Holding between a set and itself; being an endorelation.
- (of a first-order differential equation) Capable 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.
- (linear algebra, by specialization, of a system of linear equations) Such that all the constant terms are zero.
- (mathematics) In 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.).
- The function f(x,y)#61;x²#43;x²ʸ#43;y² is not homogeneous on all of #92;mathbb#123;R#125;² because f(2,2)#61;16#92;neq 2ᵏ#42;3#61;2ᵏf(1,1) for any k, but f is homogeneous on the subspace of #92;mathbb#123;R#125;² spanned by (1,0) because f(#92;alphax,#92;alphay)#61;#92;alphax²#61;#92;alpha²f(x,y) for all (x,y)#92;in#92;operatorname#123;Span#125;#92;#123;(1,0)#92;#125;.
- (mathematical analysis, generalizing the case of polynomial functions, of a function f) Such 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(
- (of a general differential equation) Homogeneous as a function of the dependent variable and its derivatives.
- (chemistry) In the same state of matter.
- all of the same or similar kind or nature

- (mathematics, category theory) Of two categories, (informally) such that one is essentially a relabeling of the other; (formally) related by a pair of functors such the composition of the one with the other is naturally isomorphic to the identity functor.
- (mathematics) Relating to the corresponding elements of an equivalence relation.
- (chemistry) Having the equal ability to combine.
- Similar or identical in value, meaning or effect; virtually equal.
