| Jun 15, 2013 at 0:22 | comment | added | Sam | @Kris, yes; I short phrase would do. | |

Clarified that a single word or phrase is suitable.

| Jun 15, 2013 at 0:18 | comment | added | Sam | @JohnLawler, to me, continuous would make sense when describing a pair of such ranges, but when using the word to describe an individual range with this property, I don't think it helps indicate this. | |

| Jun 14, 2013 at 14:47 | comment | added | Kris | Are you asking this on ELU because you have made sure no term already exists in mathematics? | |
| Jun 14, 2013 at 14:46 | comment | added | Kris | You seem to be looking at things that align on their borders (i.e., leaving no gap or forming no overlap). A term similar to (but not) coterminous should be apt, except that the termini here are not both outer ends but the outer of the first and inner of the second. This is an involved case and therefore may be difficult to express in a single word. Would a short phrase do? | |
