Abstract

Let K be a smooth convex set with volume one in Rd. Choose n random points in K independently according to the uniform distribution. The convex hull of these points, denoted by Kn, is called a random polytope. We prove that several key functionals of Kn satisfy the central limit theorem as n tends to infinity.
