Variance asymptotics for random polytopes in smooth convex bodies

Abstract: Let

K s u b s e t R^{d}

be a smooth convex set and let

P_{l} a

be a Poisson point process on

R^{d}

of intensity

l a

. The convex hull of

P_{l} a c a p K

is a random convex polytope

K_{l} a

. As

l a o i n f t y

, we show that the variance of the number of

k

-dimensional faces of

K_{l} a

, when properly scaled, converges to a scalar multiple of the affine surface area of

K

. Similar asymptotics hold for the variance of the number of

k

-dimensional faces for the convex hull of a binomial process in

K

.
