Approximation of convex functions by random polygonal lines

From MaRDI portal





The authors study the asymptotic behaviour of the distribution of polygonal lines on the planar integer grid that (after rescaling) approximates a given convex curve. They present a central limit theorem for the deviation between the rescaled line and the curve and a result on the limiting behaviour of the number of edges. The entropy of the chosen distribution on the family of polygonal lines is related to the affine curvature of the convex curve.
