Abstract

Giving a joint generalization of a result of Brazitikos, Chasapis and Hioni and results of Giannopoulos and Milman, we prove that roughly d(1ϑ)dln1(1ϑ)d\left\lceil \frac{d}{(1-\vartheta)^d}\ln\frac{1}{(1-\vartheta)^d} \right\rceil points chosen uniformly and independently from a centered convex body KK in Rd{\mathbb R}^d yield a polytope PP for which ϑKPK\vartheta K\subseteq P\subseteq K holds with large probability. The proof is simple, and relies on a combinatorial tool, the ε\varepsilon-net theorem.
