Reviewer note
editThis article came very close to being declined as being a definition, it moves past that in large part by the sentence "It has been shown that every k-cell is compact", which is a not entirely obvious result of the definition. To the extent that other results related to k-cells could be mentioned in the article, well, the article would be stronger for it, but I believe this is above our notability and WP:NOTDICT bars, so I've accepted it. Thank you for working to improve Wikipedia! --j⚛e deckertalk 17:13, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
Proposed merge of Hyperrectangle with K-cell (mathematics)
editArticles cover essentially the same topic. According to Google Ngrams, Hyperbox is the most common name that is unambiguous. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:49, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- I would recommend sticking with hyperrectangle as a name, which is more explicit than box or hyperbox, and also seems more common than the latter. I don't generally trust Google n-gram for this kind of comparison, but a Google scholar search turns up 17,000 results for "hyperrectangle" and another 11,000 for "hyper-rectangle" vs. less than 7,000 results for "hyperbox" and about 5000 for "orthotope" some of which seem off topic. I agree that k-cell could be merged to there. –jacobolus (t) 14:42, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
