  3. Tarski's plank problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarski's_plank_problem

    The (closed) set of points P between two distinct, parallel hyperplanes in R n is called a plank, and the distance between the two hyperplanes is called the width of the plank, w(P). Tarski conjectured that if a convex body C of minimal width w ( C ) was covered by a collection of planks, then the sum of the widths of those planks must be at ...

  4. Hesse normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesse_normal_form

    Distance from the origin O to the line E calculated with the Hesse normal form. Normal vector in red, line in green, point O shown in blue. In analytic geometry, the Hesse normal form (named after Otto Hesse) is an equation used to describe a line in the Euclidean plane, a plane in Euclidean space, or a hyperplane in higher dimensions.

  5. Hyperplane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperplane

    In geometry, a hyperplane of an n-dimensional space V is a subspace of dimension n − 1, or equivalently, of codimension 1 in V.The space V may be a Euclidean space or more generally an affine space, or a vector space or a projective space, and the notion of hyperplane varies correspondingly since the definition of subspace differs in these settings; in all cases however, any hyperplane can ...

  6. Volume of an n-ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_an_n-ball

    Fix a plane through the center of the ball. Let r denote the distance between a point in the plane and the center of the sphere, and let θ denote the azimuth. Intersecting the n-ball with the (n − 2)-dimensional plane defined by fixing a radius and an azimuth gives an (n − 2)-ball of radius √ R 2 − r 2.

  7. Hyperpyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperpyramid

    In the case of the pyramid one connects all vertices of the base (a polygon in a plane) to a point outside the plane, which is the peak. The pyramid's height is the distance of the peak from the plane. This construction gets generalised to n dimensions. The base becomes a (n – 1)-polytope in a (n – 1)-dimensional hyperplane. A point called ...

  8. Projective geometry - Wikipedia

    C3: If A and C are distinct points, and B and D are distinct points, with [BCE] and [ADE] but not [ABE], then there is a point F such that [ACF] and [BDF]. For two distinct points, A and B, the line AB is defined as consisting of all points C for which [ABC]. The axioms C0 and C1 then provide a formalization of G2; C2 for G1 and C3 for G3.

  9. Hyperplane section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperplane_section

    In mathematics, a hyperplane section of a subset X of projective space P n is the intersection of X with some hyperplane H. In other words, we look at the subset X H of those elements x of X that satisfy the single linear condition L = 0 defining H as a linear subspace .
