The sample range of uniform random points $X_1, dots , X_n$ chosen in a given convex set is the convex hull ${rm conv}[X_1, dots, X_n]$. It is shown that in dimension three the expected volume of the sample range is not monotone with respect to set inclusion. This answers a question by Meckes in the negative. The given counterexample is the three-dimensional tetrahedron together with an infinitesimal variation of it. As side result we obtain an explicit formula for all even moments of the volume of a random simplex which is the convex hull of three uniform random points in the tetrahedron and the center of one facet.
In a $d$-dimensional convex body $K$ random points $X_0, dots, X_d$ are chosen. Their convex hull is a random simplex. The expected volume of a random simplex is monotone under set inclusion, if $K subset L$ implies that the expected volume of a rand
We consider a discrete time simple symmetric random walk on Z^d, d>=1, where the path of the walk is perturbed by inserting deterministic jumps. We show that for any time n and any deterministic jumps that we insert, the expected number of sites visi
Suppose we choose $N$ points uniformly randomly from a convex body in $d$ dimensions. How large must $N$ be, asymptotically with respect to $d$, so that the convex hull of the points is nearly as large as the convex body itself? It was shown by Dyer-
The convex hull $P_{n}$ of a Gaussian sample $X_{1},...,X_{n}$ in $R^{d}$ is a Gaussian polytope. We prove that the expected number of facets $E f_{d-1} (P_n)$ is monotonically increasing in $n$. Furthermore we prove this for random polytopes generat
Consider an arbitrary transient random walk on $Z^d$ with $dinN$. Pick $alphain[0,infty)$ and let $L_n(alpha)$ be the spatial sum of the $alpha$-th power of the $n$-step local times of the walk. Hence, $L_n(0)$ is the range, $L_n(1)=n+1$, and for int
