Recurrence Relationships for the Mean Number of Faces and Vertices for Random Convex Hulls

: This paper studies the convex hull of n random points in Rd. A recently-proved topological identity of the author is used in combination with identities of Efron and Buchta to find the expected number of vertices of the convex hull
