چکیده
Let K be a compact convex body in R, let Kn be the convex hull of n points chosen uniformly and independently in K, and let fipKnq denote the number of i-dimensional faces of Kn. We show that for planar convex sets, Erf0pKnqs is increasing in n. In dimension d ě 3 we prove that if limnÑ8 Erfd ́1pKnqs An “ 1 for some constants A and c ą 0 then the function n ÞÑ Erfd ́1pKnqs is increasing for n large enough. In particular, the number of facets of the convex hull of n random points distributed uniformly and independently in a smooth compact convex body is asymptotically increasing. Our proof relies on a random sampling argument. Key-words: Computational geometry, Stochastic geometry, Convex hull, Complexity .

Banach-Mazur Distances and Projections on Random Subgaussian Polytopes
We consider polytopes in Rn that are generated by N vectors in Rn whose coordinates are independent subgaussian random variables. (A particular case of such polytopes are symmetric random ±1 polytopes generated by N independent vertices of the unit cube.) We show that for a random pair of such polytopes the Banach-Mazur distance between them is essentially of a maximal order n. This result is a...
متن کاملA Generalized Sewing Construction for Polytopes
Two major combinatorial problems are to characterize the f -vectors and flag f -vectors of convex d-polytopes. For 3-polytopes these problems were solved by Steinitz [24, 25] nearly a century ago. They also were solved for the class of simplicial polytopes by Stanley [23] and Billera and Lee [10] more than 25 years ago. For d ≥ 4, however, the problems of characterizing the f -vectors and flag ...
متن کاملConvex Polytopes: Extremal Constructions and f -Vector Shapes
These lecture notes treat some current aspects of two closely interrelated topics from the theory of convex polytopes: the shapes of f -vectors, and extremal constructions. The study of f -vectors has had huge successes in the last forty years. The most fundamental one is undoubtedly the “g-theorem,” conjectured by McMullen in 1971 and proved by Billera & Lee and Stanley in 1980, which characte...
متن کاملStability Properties of Neighbourly Random Polytopes
We introduce a quantitative parameter measuring m-neighbourliness of symmetric convex polytopes in R . We discuss this parameter for random polytopes generated by subgaussian vectors and show its stability properties.
متن کاملThe cd-index of zonotopes and arrangements
We investigate a special class of polytopes, the zonotopes, and show that their flag f -vectors satisfy only the affine relations fulfilled by flag f -vectors of all polytopes. In addition, we determine the lattice spanned by flag f -vectors of zonotopes. By duality, these results apply as well to the flag f -vectors of central arrangements of hyperplanes.
