  2. Half-space (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-space_(geometry)

    A half-space can be either open or closed. An open half-space is either of the two open sets produced by the subtraction of a hyperplane from the affine space. A closed half-space is the union of an open half-space and the hyperplane that defines it. The open (closed) upper half-space is the half-space of all (x 1, x 2, ..., x n) such that x n ...

  3. Upper half-plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_half-plane

    The uniformization theorem for surfaces states that the upper half-plane is the universal covering space of surfaces with constant negative Gaussian curvature. The closed upper half-plane is the union of the upper half-plane and the real axis. It is the closure of the upper half-plane.

  4. Half-disk topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-disk_topology

    In mathematics, and particularly general topology, the half-disk topology is an example of a topology given to the set , given by all points (,) in the plane such that . [1] The set X {\displaystyle X} can be termed the closed upper half plane.

  5. Supporting hyperplane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supporting_hyperplane

    Conversely, if is a closed set with nonempty interior such that every point on the boundary has a supporting hyperplane, then is a convex set, and is the intersection of all its supporting closed half-spaces. [2] The hyperplane in the theorem may not be unique, as noticed in the second picture on the right.

  6. Alpha shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_shape

    If α > 0, it is a closed disk of radius 1/α; If α < 0, it is the closure of the complement of a disk of radius −1/ α . Then an edge of the alpha-shape is drawn between two members of the finite point set whenever there exists a generalized disk of radius 1/ α that has the two points on its boundary and that contains none of the point set ...

  7. Unit disk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_disk

    A bijective conformal map from the open unit disk to the open upper half-plane can also be constructed as the composition of two stereographic projections: first the unit disk is stereographically projected upward onto the unit upper half-sphere, taking the "south-pole" of the unit sphere as the projection center, and then this half-sphere is ...

  8. Disk (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_(mathematics)

    In geometry, a disk (also spelled disc) [1] is the region in a plane bounded by a circle. A disk is said to be closed if it contains the circle that constitutes its boundary, and open if it does not. [2] For a radius, , an open disk is usually denoted as and a closed disk is ¯.

  9. Face (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_(geometry)

    In some areas of mathematics, such as polyhedral combinatorics, a polytope is by definition convex. Formally, a face of a polytope P is the intersection of P with any closed halfspace whose boundary is disjoint from the interior of P. [7] From this definition it follows that the set of faces of a polytope includes the polytope itself and the ...
