The 12 pages that link to Dirichlet boundary condition, each with the reason it gives.

• Initial conditionCompared with: It prescribes function values by position on a boundary, unlike data at an initial point.

• Periodic boundary conditionCompared with: Unlike periodic conditions, it fixes boundary values rather than identifying opposite boundaries.

• Neumann boundary conditionCompared with: It fixes boundary values rather than normal derivatives.
