Orthogonal convex hull Orthogonal convex hull In geometry, a set is defined to be orthogonally convex if, for every line that is parallel to one of standard basis vectors, the intersection of with is empty, a point, or a single segment. The term "orthogonal" refers to corresponding Cartesian basis and coordinates in Euclidean space, where different basis vectors are perpendicular, as well as corresponding lines. Unlike ordinary convex sets, an orthogonally convex set is not necessarily connected. The orthogonal convex hull of a set is the intersection of all connected orthogonally convex supersets of . These definitions are made by analogy with the
Anticrepuscular rays Anticrepuscular rays Anticrepuscular rays, or antisolar rays, are atmospheric optical phenomena similar to crepuscular rays, but appear opposite of the Sun in the sky. Anticrepuscular rays are nearly parallel, but appear to converge toward the antisolar point due to linear perspective. Anticrepuscular rays are most frequently visible around sunrise or sunset. Appearing to radiate from the Sun, crepuscular rays usually look much brighter than anticrepuscular rays. This is because the atmospheric light scattering making the crepuscular rays visible occurs at low angles to the horizon (see Mie theory). Although anticrepuscular rays appear to converge toward the antisolar point, the convergence
