[For the entire collection see Zbl 0726.00015.] Approximation with respect to the symmetric difference metric of a convex body in \(E^ 3\) whose boundary is of class \(C^ 2\) with positive Gaussian curvature by circumscribed polytopes with \(n\) facets is considered. The author gives an asymptotic formula for the minimal difference as \(n\) tends to infinity. Its proof uses a moment lemma of Fejes Tòth, and also explicitly constructs circumscribed polytopes being close to best approximating. Conjectures on similar formulae and possible extensions to higher dimensions are also discussed.
