Intrinsic volumes of random polytopes with vertices on the boundary of a convex body

Abstract: Let

K

be a convex body in

R^{d}

, let

j i n 1, ..., d - 1

, and let

v a r r h o

be a positive and continuous probability density function with respect to the

(d - 1)

-dimensional Hausdorff measure on the boundary

p a r t i a l K

of

K

. Denote by

K_{n}

the convex hull of

n

points chosen randomly and independently from

p a r t i a l K

according to the probability distribution determined by

v a r r h o

. For the case when

p a r t i a l K

is a

C^{2}

submanifold of

R^{d}

with everywhere positive Gauss curvature, M. Reitzner proved an asymptotic formula for the expectation of the difference of the

j

th intrinsic volumes of

K

and

K_{n}

, as

n o i n f t y

. In this article, we extend this result to the case when the only condition on

K

is that a ball rolls freely in

K

.
