Variance asymptotics and scaling limits for random polytopes

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let K be a convex set in R d and let K lambda be the convex hull of a homogeneous Poisson point process P lambda of intensity lambda on K. When K is a simple polytope, we establish scaling limits as lambda ightarrow infty for the boundary of K lambda in a vicinity of a vertex of K and we give variance asymptotics for the volume and k-face functional of K lambda, k in {0, 1, ..., d -- 1}, resolving an open question posed in [18]. The scaling limit of the boundary of K lambda and the variance asymptotics are described in terms of a germ-grain model consisting of cone-like grains pinned to the extreme points of a Poisson point process on R d--1 imes R having intensity sqrt de dh dhdv.
