Bounded


A mathematical object is bounded if its size is limited in a specified sense. For a set of real numbers, this means having both a lower bound and an upper bound. For a function, boundedness means that its range is a bounded set, as in a bounded function. Having an upper bound alone is instead called being bounded from above.
