• Bounded emotionality, a concept within communication theory that stems from emotional labor and bounded rationality

Linguistics

• Boundedness (linguistics), whether a situation has a clearly defined beginning or end

Mathematics

• Boundedness axiom, the axiom schema of replacement
• Bounded deformation, a function whose distributional derivatives are not quite well-behaved-enough to qualify as functions of bounded variation, although the symmetric part of the derivative matrix does meet that condition
• Bounded growth, occurs when the growth rate of a mathematical function is constantly increasing at a decreasing rate
• Bounded operator, a linear transformation L between normed vector spaces for which the ratio of the norm of L(v) to that of v is bounded by the same number over all non-zero vectors v
• Bounded poset, a partially ordered set that has both a greatest and a least element
• Bounded set, a set that is finite in some sense
  • Bounded function, a function or sequence whose possible values form a bounded set

• Bounded set (topological vector space), a set in which every neighborhood of the zero vector can be inflated to include the set
• Bounded variation, a real-valued function whose total variation is bounded
• Bounded pointer, a pointer that is augmented with additional information that enable the storage bounds within which it may point to be deduced
