Monotonicity of functionals of random polytopes

Abstract: The convex hull

P_{n}

of a Gaussian sample

X_{1}, ..., X_{n}

in

R^{d}

is a Gaussian polytope. We prove that the expected number of facets

E f_{d - 1} (P_{n})

is monotonically increasing in

n

. Furthermore we prove this for random polytopes generated by uniformly distributed points in a

d

-dimensional ball.
