....concepts [21] Exact geometric primitives ensure exact geometric computation. For many problems (cf. 21] the C representation together with exact rational arithmetic, e.g. the number type rational from leda [17] or the H representation together with exact integer arithmetic, e.g. BigNum [18] or leda s number type integer, as RT number type lead to exact geometric predicates. For exact geometric computation it is, however, not necessary that all computations are done exactly. Geometric predicates often just encapsulate decisions based on numerical computations. It is often sufficient ....
