Its convex hull is a random inscribed polytope, whose boundary approximates the sphere. We focus on the case d = 3, for which there are elementary proofs and fascinating formulas for metric properties. In particular, we study the fraction of acute facets, the expected intrinsic volumes, the total edge length, and the distance to a fixed point. Finally we generalize the results to the ellipsoid with homeoid density.","lang":"eng"}],"ec_funded":1,"oa":1,"oa_version":"Published Version","date_published":"2021-10-25T00:00:00Z","department":[{"_id":"HeEd"}],"file":[{"access_level":"open_access","success":1,"file_id":"14053","relation":"main_file","file_name":"2023_ExperimentalMath_Akopyan.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":1966019,"date_created":"2023-08-14T11:55:10Z","date_updated":"2023-08-14T11:55:10Z","checksum":"3514382e3a1eb87fa6c61ad622874415","creator":"dernst"}],"publisher":"Taylor and Francis","article_type":"original","type":"journal_article","tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png","short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"project":[{"call_identifier":"H2020","name":"Alpha Shape Theory Extended","_id":"266A2E9E-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"788183"},{"call_identifier":"FWF","_id":"268116B8-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"Z00342","name":"The Wittgenstein Prize"},{"name":"Discretization in Geometry and Dynamics","grant_number":"I4887","_id":"0aa4bc98-070f-11eb-9043-e6fff9c6a316"},{"call_identifier":"FWF","_id":"2561EBF4-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"I02979-N35","name":"Persistence and stability of geometric complexes"}],"page":"1-15","day":"25","title":"The beauty of random polytopes inscribed in the 2-sphere","article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1944-950X"],"issn":["1058-6458"]},"file_date_updated":"2023-08-14T11:55:10Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_created":"2021-11-07T23:01:25Z"}
