Random zonotopes and valuations (Q6624188)

In this paper, the author considers random zonotopes in \(\mathbb R^d\), which are defined as the Minkowski sum of finitely many independently and identically distributed line segments. Valuations, and as a special case, intrinsic volumes of the above random zonotope are then examined. Their expectations, for a fixed number of line segments, are determined, using an extension of an argument in [\textit{R. A. Vitale}, Ann. Appl. Probab. 1, No. 2, 293--300 (1991; Zbl 0739.15015)]. A central limit theorem is also obtained as the number of chosen line segments tends to infinity.
