| Jun 4 at 6:55 | comment | added | Daniele Tampieri | Pluriindex sounds also better, and moreover it keeps memory of the two distinct root of the word (it is a way of emphasising its meaning). | |
| Jun 4 at 5:47 | comment | added | Pietro Majer | (but e.g. multiindex seems more common than multindex) | |
| Jun 4 at 3:39 | comment | added | Pietro Majer | The wiktionary page for the prefix pluri- lists 79 words in English, 11 in French, 22 in Spanish, all in the non-hyphenated form, so I guess one may use this form here as well en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pluri- Unfortunately, none with an i word, so I would be in doubt between plurinterval vs pluriinterval | |

Added a major part to the answer after a more accurate (and longer...) analysis

| May 31 at 13:27 | comment | added | Pietro Majer | Sure. Using “pluri-interval” or “plurinterval” for $n=1$, but also for every dimension, is fine to me and indeed it is customary. On the contrary, “pluri-rectangle“ was expressly thought in dim n, so although in particular it should be ok for the case n=1, I think here thinking “x” as “a particular case of a generalisation of x “would be unnecessary, and a bit weird | |

Minor addition, as per comment of Pietro Majer.

| May 31 at 8:00 | comment | added | Daniele Tampieri | @PietroMajer, Cafiero uses plurirectangle for a general $k\in\Bbb N_{>0}$ (he uses the concept in his treatment of the Peano-Jordan measure). Plurinterval is more a synonym for $k$-rectangle: nevertheless Picone and Viola define also multidimensional intervals as rectangles, thus I think that pluriinterval wouldn't be a bad choice. But again I am in favour of plurirectangle for any general $k\in\Bbb N_{>0}$, just to keep on with the tradition. Well. my two cents. | |
| May 31 at 7:05 | comment | added | Pietro Majer | Then what is your proposal? Plurirectangle is fine to me (I use it too in fact) but do you mean to use it in dim=1 too? (I woud be hesitant). Or did you mean to corroborate the choice of plurinterval by analogy with plurirectangle? At least in Italian, it seems well attested indeed. | |
