Hyperplanar shear parallel to . The lattice is `stratified' into different layers parallel to . The layer to which the vector points is given by the integer . The hyperplanar shear is made by calculating the point H (marked by a little orange star) which is the orthogonal projection of the origin O onto the layer q. The node Z such that can be translated towards another node Z′ closer to H (see text). The vector has a lower norm and a better `orthogonality' with the hyperplane . |
