The phrase "a small divergence in" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a minor difference or deviation in a particular context, such as opinions, data, or processes.
Example: "There is a small divergence in the results of the two experiments, which warrants further investigation."
Alternatives: "a slight variation in" or "a minor discrepancy in".
One is thus led to the conclusion that similarity in belief is a matter of degree, and it may then be difficult to avoid accepting that even a relatively small divergence in surrounding beliefs may be sufficient to generate subtle differences between two beliefs expressed in the same words.
As the crystal quality declines as seen in Figs. 1 ▸ and 2 ▸, the 2θB peak begins to become more dominant, which is not captured by scanning along the specular direction if a small divergence, ΔΩ, and small acceptance in the scattered beam, Δ2θ, are used.
Again, only a small divergence between the analytical and simulative solutions is noticeable.
In this situation, some small divergence in the opinion of other participants might suffice to rely on a correct personal opinion.
In fact, acoustic group distances and genetic group distances estimated for the cytb (data not shown) were positively correlated, indicating that genetic drift might be mostly responsible for the small divergence in acoustic parameters.
But these were small divergences in what was largely a uniform set of characteristics.
Creating a basket of currencies to price oil against would also be problematic as the value of its constituents would swing, and reweighting would be a constant exercise, creating "arbitrage," where traders could profit from small divergences in exchange rates.
The small divergences in DNA sequences between extant T. pallescens populations from the Pyrenees, the Austrian Alps and N Greece are consistent with their separate evolution as they subsequently regressed to different alpine regions as the climate warmed after successive glaciations.
A relatively modest divergence, in absolute terms, appears significant when the total number of gaps is small.
