Monotonicity of facet numbers of random convex hulls

Abstract: Let X1,ldots,Xn be independent random points that are distributed according to a probability measure on mathbbRd and let Pn be the random convex hull generated by X1,ldots,Xn (ngeqd+1). Natural classes of probability distributions are characterized for which, by means of Blaschke-Petkantschin formulae from integral geometry, one can show that the mean facet number of Pn is strictly monotonically increasing in n.
