Definition

A prescribed constraint or specification of field variables (values or relations among values) applied on the boundary of a spatial domain that, together with governing equations, defines a well‑posed physical or numerical problem; includes value (Dirichlet), flux/traction (Neumann) and mixed/Robin types and their appropriate mathematical statements for the problem class.
