      A set \(\{H_ i\}\) of proper hyperplanes of an extended space \(\ell_{S_ n}\) not containing infinitely far points is said to be an \((r,R)\)-system \((0<r\leq R<+\infty)\) iff any open \(r\)-ball has a nonvoid intersection with at most one hyperplane \(H_ i\) and any closed \(R\)-ball crosses at least one hyperplane from \(\{H_ i\}\). The density of the set \(\{H_ i\}\) is defined by \(\kappa_ n(H_ i)=r^*/R^*\) where \(r^*\) and \(R^*\) are the least upper bound and the greatest lower bound of such \(r\) and \(R\), respectively. If \(r_ 0\geq r^*\), then \(\{H_ i\}\) is said to belong to a class \(H(r_ 0)\). Theorem. If \(\{H_ i\}\) belongs to a class \(H(r_ 0)\) in \(\ell_{S_ n}\), then the density of \(\{H_ i\}\) is greater than or equal to \[ r_ 0(\hbox{Arch}\sqrt{2n/(n+1)}\cdot ch r_ 0)^{-1}. \] The equality holds for any \(r_ 0\) in the case of \(n=2\), for infinitely many \(r_ 0\) in the case of \(n=3\) (the description of such \(r_ 0\) is given in the paper) and for no \(r_ 0\) in the case of \(n>3\).
