Intrinsic volumes, which generalize both Euler characteristic and Lebesgue volume, are important properties of $d$-dimensional sets. A random cubical complex is a union of unit cubes, each with vertices on a regular cubic lattice,…
We study three families of polyhedral cones whose sections are regular simplices, cubes, and crosspolytopes. We compute solid angles and conic intrinsic volumes of these cones. We show that several quantities appearing in stochastic…
The conic support measures localize the conic intrinsic volumes of closed convex cones in the same way as the support measures of convex bodies localize the intrinsic volumes of convex bodies. In this note, we extend the `Master Steiner…

We develop a new method to estimate the area, and more generally the intrinsic volumes, of a compact subset $X$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$ from a set $Y$ that is close in the Hausdorff distance. This estimator enjoys a linear rate of convergence as…
We have derived an analytical formulation for estimating the volume of geometries enclosed by implicitly defined surfaces. The novelty of this work is due to two aspects. First we provide a general analytical formulation for all…
For a convex lattice polytope $P\subset \mathbb R^d$ of dimension $d$ with vertices in $\mathbb Z^d$, denote by $L(P)$ its discrete volume which is defined as the number of integer points inside $P$. The classical result due to Ehrhart says…
