The problem of approximating convex bodies by polytopes is an important and well studied problem. Given a convex body K in Rd , the objective is to minimize the number of vertices...

The Chv´atal-Gomory closure and the split closure of a rational polyhedron are rational polyhedra. It was recently shown that the Chv´atal-Gomory closure of a strictly convex bo...

Minkowski’s second theorem on successive minima gives an upper bound on the volume of a convex body in terms of its successive minima. We study the problem to generalize Minkowsk...

A random polygon is the convex hull of uniformly distributed random points in a convex body K R2 . General upper bounds are established for the variance of the area of a random p...

According to a classical result of Gr¨unbaum, the transversal number τ(F) of any family F of pairwise-intersecting translates or homothets of a convex body C in Rd is bounded by...

We show that the hit-and-run random walk mixes rapidly starting from any interior point of a convex body. This is the first random walk known to have this property. In contrast, t...
