چکیده
We prove that for every convex body K with the center of mass at the origin and every ε ∈ ( 0, 12 ) , there exists a convex polytope P with at most eO(d)ε− d−1 2 vertices such that (1− ε)K ⊂ P ⊂ K.

Asymptotic approximation of smooth convex bodies by general polytopes
For the optimal approximation of convex bodies by inscribed or circumscribed polytopes there are precise asymptotic results with respect to different notions of distance. In this paper we want to derive some results on optimal approximation without restricting the polytopes to be inscribed or circumscribed. Let Pn and P(n) denote the set of polytopes with at most n vertices and n facets, respec...
متن کاملRandom Polytopes, Convex Bodies, and Approximation
Assume K ⊂ R is a convex body and Xn ⊂ K is a random sample of n uniform, independent points from K. The convex hull of Xn is a convex polytope Kn called random polytope inscribed in K. We are going to investigate various properties of this polytope: for instance how well it approximates K, or how many vertices and facets it has. It turns out that Kn is very close to the so called floating body...
متن کاملAsymptotic estimates for best and stepwise approximation of convex bodies III
We consider approximations of a smooth convex body by inscribed and circumscribed convex polytopes as the number of vertices, resp. facets tends to innnity. The measure of deviation used is the diierence of the mean width of the convex body and the approximating polytopes. The following results are obtained. (i) An asymptotic formula for best approximation. (ii) Upper and lower estimates for st...

Let C be a convex body in Euclidean d-space IE , i.e., a compact convex set with non-empty interior, and denote by P i n and P (n) the set of polytopes with at most n vertices inscribed to C and the set of polytopes with at most n facets circumscribed to C, respectively. Denote by δ(., .) the symmetric difference metric. Beginning with the work of L. Fejes Tóth [2], there are many investigation...
متن کاملApproximation of Smooth Convex Bodies by Random Circumscribed Polytopes
Choose n independent random points on the boundary of a convex body K ⊂Rd . The intersection of the supporting halfspaces at these random points is a random convex polyhedron. The expectations of its volume, its surface area and its mean width are investigated. In the case that the boundary of K is sufficiently smooth, asymptotic expansions as n→∞ are derived even in the case when the curvature...
