摘要

Schreiber and Yukich [Ann. Probab. 36 (2008) 363-396] establish an asymptotic representation for random convex polytope geometry in the unit ball B-d, d >= 2, in terms of the general theory of stabilizing functionals of Poisson point processes as well as in terms of generalized paraboloid growth processes. This paper further exploits this connection, introducing also a dual object termed the paraboloid hull process. Via these growth processes we establish local functional limit theorems for the properly scaled radius-vector and support functions of convex polytopes generated by high-density Poisson samples. We show that direct methods lead to explicit asymptotic expressions for the fidis of the properly scaled radius-vector and support functions. Generalized paraboloid growth processes, coupled with general techniques of stabilization theory, yield Brownian sheet limits for the defect volume and mean width functionals. Finally we provide explicit variance asymptotics and central limit theorems for the k-face and intrinsic volume functionals.
