function segment = p04_boundary_segment ( segment_index, m, segment_length )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% P04_BOUNDARY_SEGMENT returns a boundary segment in problem 04.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    SEGMENT_LENGTH should be no less than 7, and good values will
%    have the form 6*N+1.
