Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0726.00015.] For fixed area of a compact convex set \(K\) in \(\mathbb{R}^ 2\) the maximal area of the convex hull of \(n\) i.i.d. uniformly distributed random points in \(K\) is obtained when \(K\) is a triangle. (W. Blaschke proved this for \(n=3\).) Moreover, for higher dimensions \(d\) a similar result is shown for polytopes with at most \(d+2\) vertices.
