-A mathematical object is described as '''degenerate''' in special cases in which the object reduces to a particularly simple form. It is often used in [[geometry]] to describe simple [[conic section]]s such as [[point]]s, and [[triangles]] which are actually line segments, that is, where the [[vertices]] are [[collinear]].
