Analysis/Probability

Date:  Wednesday, April 26, 2017 Location:  2866 East Hall (4:10 PM to 5:00 PM) Title:  Fine approximation of convex bodies by polytopes Abstract:   We will show that the number of vertices needed to approximate an arbitrary convex body in the n-dimensional Euclidean space by a polytope with any given precision in the Banach-Mazur distance may be only exponentially (in n) larger than the number of vertices needed to approximate the unit ball with the same precision.
