Facets of the convex hull of $n$ independent random vectors chosen uniformly at random from the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are studied. A particular focus is given on the height of the facets as well as the expected number of facets as…

The convex hull $P_{n}$ of a Gaussian sample $X_{1},...,X_{n}$ in $R^{d}$ is a Gaussian polytope. We prove that the expected number of facets $E f_{d-1} (P_n)$ is monotonically increasing in $n$. Furthermore we prove this for random…
