초직사각형

Also known as box, n-orthotope

thumb|Projections of k-cells onto the plane (from k\in\{1,\dots{},6\}). Only the edges of the higher-dimensional cells are shown. In geometry, a hyperrectangle (also called a box, hyperbox, k-cell or orthotope), is the generalization of a rectangle (a plane figure) and the rectangular cuboid (a solid figure) to higher dimensions. A necessary and sufficient condition is that it is congruent to the Cartesian product of finite intervals. This means that a k-dimensional rectangular solid has each of its edges equal to one of the closed intervals used in the definition. Every k-cell is compact.
