I guess if you would have an infinitely long trajectory and hence
infinitely long blocks the ends should go to 0.
We implemented this after https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-010-0173-1_7,
so you can have a look at that as well.

The paper is from 2009, let me see if I can still find it. Please send
me your github username in an email.
