In geometry, a slab is a region between two parallel lines in the Euclidean plane, or between two parallel planes in three-dimensional Euclidean space or between two hyperplanes in higher dimensions.
Set definition A slab can also be defined as a set of points:
where is the normal vector of the planes and .
Or, if the slab is centered around the origin:
where is the thickness of the slab.
