Covering a simplex efficiently by efficiently describable polytopes?
Take a standard simplex or cube in $\mathbb R^n$.
Is there a way to cover it with $O(poly(\log n))$ convex polytopes each describable by only $O(poly(\log n))$ half-plane inequalities?
If not what ...

Polytopes that can be efficiently described and efficiently covered by cubes or simplices?
Is there a bounded convex polytope $\mathcal P\subseteq\mathbb R^n$ with $m$ vertices, whose vertex vectors span $\mathbb R^n$ (so $m$ is $\Omega(n)$) and just $O(poly(\log n))$ half-plane ...
