We consider a stationary Poisson hyperplane process with given directional distribution and intensity in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. Generalizing the zero cell of such a process, we fix a convex body $K$ and consider the intersection…

We consider polyhedral approximations of strictly convex compacta in finite dimensional Euclidean spaces (such compacta are also uniformly convex). We obtain the best possible estimates for errors of considered approximations in the…

While there is extensive literature on approximation of convex bodies by inscribed or circumscribed polytopes, much less is known in the case of generally positioned polytopes. Here we give upper and lower bounds for approximation of convex…

Consider a random set of points on the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^d$, which can be either uniformly sampled or a Poisson point process. Its convex hull is a random inscribed polytope, whose boundary approximates the sphere. We focus on the…

We provide a streamlined proof and improved estimates for the weak multivariate Gnedenko law of large numbers on concentration of random polytopes within the space of convex bodies (in a fixed or a high dimensional setting), as well as a…

We show that the expected value of the mean width of a random polytope generated by $N$ random vectors ($n\leq N\leq e^{\sqrt n}$) uniformly distributed in an isotropic convex body in $\R^n$ is of the order $\sqrt{\log N} L_K$. This…

Polyhedral-type approximations of convex-like domains in $\mathbb{C}^d$ have been considered recently by the second author. In particular, the decay rate of the error in optimal volume approximation as a function of the number of facets has…

This paper presents bounds for the best approximation, with respect to the Hausdorff metric, of a convex body $K$ by a circumscribed polytope $P$ with a given number of facets. These bounds are of particular interest if $K$ is elongated. To…

A random spherical polytope $P_n$ in a spherically convex set $K \subset S^d$ as considered here is the spherical convex hull of $n$ independent, uniformly distributed random points in $K$. The behaviour of $P_n$ for a spherically convex…

We consider convex sets whose modulus of convexity is uniformly quadratic. First, we observe several interesting relations between different positions of such ``2-convex'' bodies; in particular, the isotropic position is a finite…
