The Convex Hull of a Sample

نویسنده

چکیده

1. The convex hull of a random sample may be considered as one possible analogue of the range of a one-dimensional sample. Recent work along this line has dealt with the expected number of vertices, faces, surface area and other quantities connected with the convex hull of n independently and identically distributed random points in the plane and in higher dimensions. See Renyi and Salanke [6] and Efron [ l ] . Geffroy [2], [3] has shown tha t if the random points are normally distributed then the convex hull "grows like" an ellipsoid (for a concise statement of these results see Math. Rev. 25 #4559). Some features of the limiting geometric behavior of the convex hull will be described here.

Sweep Line Algorithm for Convex Hull Revisited

Convex hull of some given points is the intersection of all convex sets containing them. It is used as primary structure in many other problems in computational geometry and other areas like image processing, model identification, geographical data systems, and triangular computation of a set of points and so on. Computing the convex hull of a set of point is one of the most fundamental and imp...

L-CONVEX SYSTEMS AND THE CATEGORICAL ISOMORPHISM TO SCOTT-HULL OPERATORS

The concepts of $L$-convex systems and Scott-hull spaces are proposed on frame-valued setting. Also, we establish the categorical isomorphism between  $L$-convex systems and Scott-hull spaces. Moreover, it is proved that the category of $L$-convex structures is  bireflective in the category of $L$-convex systems. Furthermore, the quotient systems of $L$-convex systems are studied.

Category and subcategories of (L,M)-fuzzy convex spaces

Inthispaper, (L,M)-fuzzy domain finiteness and (L,M)-fuzzy restricted hull spaces are introduced, and several characterizations of the category (L,M)-CS of (L,M)-fuzzy convex spaces are obtained. Then, (L,M)-fuzzy stratified (resp. weakly induced, induced) convex spaces are introduced. It is proved that both categories, the category (L,M)-SCS of (L,M)-fuzzy stratified convex spaces and the cate...

A convex combinatorial property of compact sets in the plane and its roots in lattice theory

K. Adaricheva and M. Bolat have recently proved that if $,mathcal U_0$ and $,mathcal U_1$ are circles in a triangle with vertices $A_0,A_1,A_2$, then there exist $jin {0,1,2}$ and $kin{0,1}$ such that $,mathcal U_{1-k}$ is included in the convex hull of $,mathcal U_kcup({A_0,A_1, A_2}setminus{A_j})$. One could say disks instead of circles.Here we prove the existence of such a $j$ and $k$ ...
