We provide a self contained proof of a result of Dudley [Dud64]} which shows that a bounded convex-body in $\Re^d$ can be $\varepsilon$-approximated, by the intersection of $O_d\bigl(\varepsilon^{-(d-1)/2} \bigr)$ halfspaces, where $O_d$…

Fix integers $d \geq 2$ and $k\geq d-1$. Consider a random walk $X_0, X_1, \ldots$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ in which, given $X_0, X_1, \ldots, X_n$ ($n \geq k$), the next step $X_{n+1}$ is uniformly distributed on the unit ball centred at $X_n$,…

For polyhedral convex cones in ${\mathbb R}^d$, we give a proof for the conic kinematic formula for conic curvature measures, which avoids the use of characterization theorems. For the random cones defined as typical cones of an isotropic…

Let $\mathbb{P}_{\kappa}(n)$ be the probability that $n$ points $z_1,\ldots,z_n$ picked uniformly and independently in $\mathfrak{C}_\kappa$, a regular $\kappa$-gon with area $1$, are in convex position, that is, form the vertex set of a…

In this note, we derive an asymptotically sharp upper bound on the number of lattice points in terms of the volume of centrally symmetric convex bodies. Our main tool is a generalization of a result of Davenport that bounds the number of…

We derive lower estimates for the approximation of the $d$-dimensional Euclidean ball by polytopes with a fixed number of $k$-dimensional faces, $k\in\{0,1,\ldots,d-1\}$. The metrics considered include the intrinsic volume difference and…

We strongly believe that in order to prove two important geometrical pro\-blems in convexity, namely, the G. Bianchi and P. Gruber's Conjecture \cite{bigru} and the J. A. Barker and D. G. Larman's Conjecture \cite{Barker}, it is necessary…

We consider the discrepancy of the integer lattice with respect to the collection of all translated copies of a dilated convex body having a finite number of flat, possibly non-smooth, points in its boundary. We estimate the $L^{p}$ norm of…

Recently, Bo'az Klartag showed that arbitrary convex bodies have Gaussian marginals in most directions. We show that Klartag's quantitative estimates may be improved for many uniformly convex bodies. These include uniformly convex bodies…

We state a general formula to compute the volume of the intersection of the regular $n$-simplex with some $k$-dimensional subspace. It is known that for central hyperplanes the one through the centroid containing $n-1$ vertices gives the…

Let $K$ be an $n$-dimensional convex body. Define the difference body by $$ K-K= \{x-y \mid x,y \in K \}. $$ We estimate the volume of the section of $K-K$ by a linear subspace $F$ via the maximal volume of sections of $K$ parallel to $F$.…

The famous Minkowski inequality provides a sharp lower bound for the mixed volume $V(K,M[n-1])$ of two convex bodies $K,M\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ in terms of powers of the volumes of the individual bodies $K$ and $M$. The special case where $K$…
