For an integral convex polytope $\Pc \subset \RR^N$ of dimension $d$, we call $\delta(\Pc)=(\delta_0, \delta_1,..., \delta_d)$ the $\delta$-vector of $\Pc$ and $\vol(\Pc)=\sum_{i=0}^d\delta_i$ its normalized volume. In this paper, we will…

Nonparametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) estimators have been widely applied in analysis of productive efficiency. Typically they are defined in terms of convex-hulls of the observed combinations of…

We express each Fr\'echet class of multivariate Bernoulli distributions with given margins as the convex hull of a set of densities, which belong to the same Fr\'echet class. This characterisation allows us to establish whether a given…

We study the edge-expansion of the graph of a random $0/1$ polytope $P^d_p$, defined as the convex hull of a random subset of the points in $\{0,1\}^d$ where every point is retained independently and with probability $p$. This problem was…

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…

We consider the multilinear polytope defined as the convex hull of the set of binary points satisfying a collection of multilinear equations. The complexity of the facial structure of the multilinear polytope is closely related to the…

We show that the random point measures induced by vertices in the convex hull of a Poisson sample on the unit ball, when properly scaled and centered, converge to those of a mean zero Gaussian field. We establish limiting variance and…

In many applications involving binary variables, only pairwise dependence measures, such as correlations, are available. However, for multi-way tables involving more than two variables, these quantities do not uniquely determine the joint…

The probability distribution function (PDF) of the mass surface density of molecular clouds provides essential information about the structure of molecular cloud gas and condensed structures out of which stars may form. In general, the PDF…

We achieve a detailed understanding of the $n$-sided planar Poisson-Voronoi cell in the limit of large $n$. Let ${p}\_n$ be the probability for a cell to have $n$ sides. We construct the asymptotic expansion of $\log {p}\_n$ up to terms…

An identity due to Efron dating from 1965 relates the expected volume of the convex hull of $n$ random points to the expected number of vertices of the convex hull of $n+1$ random points. Forty years later this identity was extended from…
