endboundary

Endboundary is a term used in multiple disciplines to refer to the boundary at the terminal point of a domain, sequence, or dataset. It denotes the constraints, markers, or values specified at the end of a region of interest and is not standardized as a single technical definition across fields. Instead, its meaning depends on the context in which it appears.

In mathematics and physics, end boundary conditions are applied to problems defined on a finite interval. These

In computing and data processing, an end boundary often refers to a marker that signals the end

Because endboundary is not a universally standardized term, its precise meaning is context-dependent. When encountered, it
