A homogeneous boundary condition refers to a scenario in which either the unknown function or its derivative is set to zero at the boundary of a given domain. This condition is crucial in various mathematical and physical applications, particularly in solving differential equations. The discussion clarifies that the term "inhomogeneous" applies when these assumptions do not hold, indicating the presence of non-zero values at the boundary.
