Abstract:
The convex hull of independent random points chosen on the boundary of a convex body according to a given density function is a random polytope. The expectation of its -th intrinsic volume for is investigated. In the case that the boundary of is sufficiently smooth, asymptotic expansions for these expected intrinsic volumes as are derived.
