Truncation refers to the process of limiting or cutting off the number of terms in a series or the precision of a function's representation. In the context of convergence and Gibbs phenomenon, truncation plays a vital role in approximating functions using finite sums or series, often leading to a loss of information or introducing artifacts in the representation. This phenomenon highlights the importance of understanding how truncation affects convergence and the behavior of approximated signals.
