This paper analyzes the convex hull of the parametric curve $\left(t, t^2, \cdots, t^N\right)$, where $t$ is in a closed interval. It finds that every point in the convex hull is representable as a convex combination of $\frac{N+1}{2}$…

It is well known that the convex hull of $\{(x,y,xy)\}$, where $(x,y)$ is constrained to lie in a box, is given by the Reformulation-Linearization Technique (RLT) constraints. Belotti {\em et al.\,}(2010) and Miller {\em et al.\,}(2011)…

Let K be a convex body in $R^d$. A random polytope is the convex hull $[x_1,...,x_n]$ of finitely many points chosen at random in K. $\Bbb E(K,n)$ is the expectation of the volume of a random polytope of n randomly chosen points. I.…
