We investigate the asymptotic properties of random polytopes arising as convex hulls of $n$ independent random points sampled from a family of block-beta distributions. Notably, this family includes the uniform distribution on a product of…

Intrinsic volumes of convex sets are natural geometric quantities that also play important roles in applications, such as linear inverse problems with convex constraints, and constrained statistical inference. It is a well-known fact that,…

We consider the moments of the volume of the symmetric convex hull of independent random points in an $n$-dimensional symmetric convex body. We calculate explicitly the second and fourth moments for $n$ points when the given body is $B_q^n$…

The central limit theorem, the invariance principle and the Poisson limit theorem for the hierarchy of freeness are studied. We show that for given natural m the limit laws can be expressed in terms of non-crossing partitions of depth…

Let $P\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ $(n\geq 3)$ be a convex polytope containing the origin in its interior. Let $\mbox{vol}_{n-2} \big( \mbox{relbd} ( P\cap\lbrace t\xi + \xi^\perp \rbrace ) \big)$ denote the $(n-2)$-dimensional volume of the…

A $0/1$-polytope in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is the convex hull of a subset of $\{0,1\}^n$. The graph of a polytope $P$ is the graph whose vertices are the zero-dimensional faces of $P$ and whose edges are the one-dimensional faces of $P$. A…

Let $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ be a sequence of independent random points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with common Lebesgue density $f$. Under some conditions on $f$, we obtain a Poisson limit theorem, as $n \to \infty$, for the number of large probability…

Let $T$ be the triangle in the plane with vertices $(0, 0)$, $(0,1)$ and $(0, 1)$. The convex hull $T_n$ of points $(0, 1)$, $(1, 0)$ and $n$ independent random points uniformly distributed in $T$ is the random convex chain. In this paper…

Polytopes are the basic finite data structures for convex sets: they appear as feasible regions in linear optimization, as geometric summaries in algorithms, and as random objects in stochastic geometry. A natural geometric question is…

We derive explicit formulae for the expected volume and the expected number of facets of the convex hull of several multidimensional Gaussian random walks in terms of the Gaussian persistence probabilities. Special cases include the already…

If $\mathcal{P}$ is a lattice polytope (i.e., $\mathcal{P}$ is the convex hull of finitely many integer points in $\mathbb{R}^d$), Ehrhart's famous theorem (1962) asserts that the integer-point counting function $|t \mathcal{P} \cap…

Given an $n$-dimensional convex body by a membership oracle in general, it is known that any polynomial-time deterministic algorithm cannot approximate its volume within ratio $(n/\log n)^n$. There is a substantial progress on randomized…

We prove the Simons-Johnson theorem for the sums $S_n$ of $m$-dependent random variables, with exponential weights and limiting compound Poisson distribution $\CP(s,\lambda)$. More precisely, we give sufficient conditions for…

We study a rotating Bose-Einstein Condensate in a strongly anharmonic trap (flat trap with a finite radius) in the framework of 2D Gross-Pitaevskii theory. We write the coupling constant for the interactions between the gas atoms as…

Typical weighted random simplices $Z_{\mu}$, $\mu\in(-2,\infty)$, in a Poisson-Delaunay tessellation in $\mathbb{R}^n$ are considered, where the weight is given by the $(\mu+1)$st power of the volume. As special cases this includes the…

Let $\mathcal{P}_{\lambda}:=\mathcal{P}_{\lambda\kappa}$ denote a Poisson point process of intensity $\lambda\kappa$ on $[0,1]^d,d\geq2$, with $\kappa$ a bounded density on $[0,1]^d$ and $\lambda\in(0,\infty)$. Given a closed subset…

An "entropy increasing to the maximum" result analogous to the entropic central limit theorem (Barron 1986; Artstein et al. 2004) is obtained in the discrete setting. This involves the thinning operation and a Poisson limit. Monotonic…

Let K be a compact convex body in Rd, let Kn be the convex hull of n points chosen uniformly and independently in K, and let fi(Kn) denote the number of i-dimensional faces of Kn. We show that for planar convex sets, E(f0(Kn)) is increasing…

In this survey, we discuss volumetric and combinatorial results concerning (mostly finite) intersections or unions of balls (mostly of equal radii) in the $d$-dimensional real vector space, mostly equipped with the Euclidean norm. Our first…

The classical Poisson theorem says that if $\xi_1,\xi_2,...$ are i.i.d. 0--1 Bernoulli random variables taking on 1 with probability $p_n\equiv \la/n$ then the sum $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^n\xi_i$ is asymptotically in $n$ Poisson distributed with…
