Homoclinic snaking is a term used to describe the back and forth oscillation of a branch of time-independent spatially localized states in a bistable, spatially reversible system as the localized structure grows in length by repeatedly adding rolls on either side. This behavior is simplest to understand within the subcritical Swift-Hohenberg equation, but is also present in the subcritical regime of doubly diffusive convection driven by horizontal gradients. In systems that are unbounded in one spatial direction homoclinic snaking continues indefinitely as the localized structure grows to resemble a spatially periodic state of infinite extent. In finite domains or in periodic domains with finite spatial period the process must terminate. In this paper we show that the snaking branches in general turn over once the length of the localized state becomes comparable to the domain, and examine the factors that determine the location of the termination point or points, and their relation to the Eckhaus instability of the spatially periodic state.
