In quantum mechanics, an energy level is degenerate if it corresponds to two or more different measurable states of a quantum system.Conversely, two or more different states of a quantum mechanical system are said to be degenerate if they give the same value of energy upon measurement.
Degeneracy (mathematics), a limiting case in which a class of object changes its nature so as to belong to another, usually simpler, class Degeneracy (graph theory), a measure of the sparseness of a graph
