Real Halfspaces

Definition

For any $a \in \R ^n$ and $\alpha \in \R $, the sets

\[ \Set{x \in \R ^n}{a^\tp x \leq \alpha }, \quad \Set{x \in \R ^n}{a^\tp x \geq \alpha } \]

are called closed halfspaces and the sets

\[ \Set{x \in \R ^n}{a^\tp x < \alpha }, \quad \Set{x \in \R ^n}{a^\tp x > \alpha } \]

are called open halfspaces.
