An instance of data type Hyperplane_d is an oriented hyperplane in d - dimensional space. A hyperplane h is represented by coefficients (c0,c1, ,cd) of type RT. At least one of c0 to c d - 1 must be non-zero. The plane equation is ∑ 0 ≤ i < d ci xi + cd = 0, where x0 to xd-1 are Cartesian point coordinates. For a particular x the sign of ∑ 0 ≤ i < d ci xi + cd determines the position of a point x with respect to the hyperplane (on the hyperplane, on the negative side, or on the positive side).
There are two equality predicates for hyperplanes. The (weak) equality predicate (weak_equality) declares two hyperplanes equal if they consist of the same set of points, the strong equality predicate (operator==) requires in addition that the negative halfspaces agree. In other words, two hyperplanes are strongly equal if their coefficient vectors are positive multiples of each other and they are (weakly) equal if their coefficient vectors are multiples of each other.

Hyperplanes are implemented by arrays of integers as an item type. All operations like creation, initialization, tests, vector arithmetic, input and output on a hyperplane h take time O(h.dimension()). coordinate access and dimension() take constant time. The space requirement is O(h.dimension()).
