Monotonicity of functionals of random polytopes

Probability 2017-06-27 v1

Abstract

The convex hull PnP_{n} of a Gaussian sample X1,...,XnX_{1},...,X_{n} in RdR^{d} is a Gaussian polytope. We prove that the expected number of facets Efd1(Pn)E f_{d-1} (P_n) is monotonically increasing in nn. Furthermore we prove this for random polytopes generated by uniformly distributed points in a dd-dimensional ball.
