  • Beschreibung: The convex hull of n points drawn independently from a uniform distribution on the interior of a d-dimensional polytope is investigated. It is shown that the expected number of vertices is O(logd-1n) for any polytope, the expected number of vertices is Ω(logd-1n) for any simple polytope, and the expected number of facets is O(logd-1n) for any simple polytope. An algorithm is presented for constructing the convex hull of such sets of points in linear average time.
