Limit theorems for random polytopes with vertices on convex surfaces

Probability 2017-06-12 v1 Metric Geometry

Abstract

The random polytope KnK_n, defined as the convex hull of nn points chosen uniformly at random on the boundary of a smooth convex body, is considered. Proofs for lower and upper variance bounds, strong laws of large numbers and central limit theorems for the intrinsic volumes of KnK_n are presented. A normal approximation bound from Stein's method and estimates for surface bodies are among the involved tools.
