Abstract
A natural model for the approximation of a convex body in by random polytopes is obtained as follows. Take a stationary Poisson hyperplane process in the space, and consider the random polytope defined as the intersection of all closed halfspaces containing that are bounded by hyperplanes of the process not intersecting . If is a functional on convex bodies, then for increasing intensities of the process, the expectation of the difference may or may not converge to zero. If it does, then the order of convergence and possible limit relations are of interest. We study these questions if is either the hitting functional or the mean width.
