The mean width of random polytopes circumscribed around a convex body

Let K be a d-dimensional convex body, and let $K^{(n)}$ be the intersection of n halfspaces containing $K$ whose bounding hyperplanes are independent and identically distributed. Under suitable distributional assumptions, we prove an asymptotic formula for the expectation of the difference of the mean widths of $K^{(n)}$ and K, and another asymptotic formula for the expectation of the number of facets of $K^{(n)}$. These results are achieved by establishing an asymptotic result on weighted volume approximation of $K$ and by "dualizing" it using polarity.

Stability of the Blaschke-Santaló and the affine isoperimetric inequality

A stability version of the Blaschke-Santaló inequality and the affine isoperimetric inequality for convex bodies of dimension n>2 is proved. The first step is the reduction to the case when the convex body is o-symmetric and has axial rotational symmetry. This step works for related inequalities compatible with Steiner symmetrization. Secondly, for these convex bodies, a stability version of the characterization of ellipsoids by the fact that each hyperplane section is centrally symmetric is established.

The mean width of circumscribed random polytopes

For a given convex body K in $R^d$, a random polytope $K^{(n)}$ is defined (essentially) as the intersection of $n$ independent closed halfspaces containing $K$ and having an isotropic and (in a specified sense) uniform distribution. We prove upper and lower bounds, of optimal orders, for the difference of the mean widths of $K^{(n)}$ and K, as n tends to infinity. For a simplicial polytope P, a precise asymptotic formula for the difference of the mean widths of $P^{(n)}$ and P is obtained.
