Abstract: Let X1,ldots,Xn be i.i.d. random points in the d-dimensional Euclidean space sampled according to one of the following probability densities: f_{d,�eta} (x) = ext{const} cdot (1-|x|^2)^{�eta}, quad |x|leq 1, quad ext{(the beta case)} and ilde f_{d,�eta} (x) = ext{const} cdot (1+|x|^2)^{-�eta}, quad xinmathbb{R}^d, quad ext{(the beta' case).} We compute exactly the expected intrinsic volumes and the expected number of facets of the convex hull of X1,ldots,Xn. Asymptotic formulae where obtained previously by Affentranger [The convex hull of random points with spherically symmetric distributions, 1991]. By studying the limits of the beta case when , respectively , we can also cover the models in which X1,ldots,Xn are uniformly distributed on the unit sphere or normally distributed, respectively. We obtain similar results for the random polytopes defined as the convex hulls of pmX1,ldots,pmXn and 0,X1,ldots,Xn. One of the main tools used in the proofs is the Blaschke-Petkantschin formula.
