Kinder, gentler average-case analysis for convex hulls and maximal vectors
Kinder, gentler average-case analysis for convex hulls and maximal vectors
While the derivations of precise asymptotic estimates found in the mathematical literature are not easily accessible to the non-specialist, there are rather simple arguments for deriving rougher "big-theta" bounds on the expected size of random convex hulls. These arguments are presented, then applied to verify a recently published conjecture on …
