Area of a sphere bounded by hyperplanes

121 Views Asked by At

Say we have a sphere in d-dimensional space, and k hyperplanes (d-1 dimensional) all passing through the origin. Is there a way to calculate (or approximate) the area of the surface of the sphere enclosed by the half-spaces \begin{align*}w_1 \cdot x &\leq 0 \\ w_2 \cdot x &\leq 0\\ \vdots& \\w_k \cdot x &\leq 0\end{align*}

Seven years late here. But this citation might be useful if someone (probably someone else) is looking into this problem.
