Projection of a ray onto a random polytope
Suppose $P$ is a polytope formed by $p$ (general) random planes in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We assume $p \asymp n$ and $P$ has a diameter $O(\sqrt{n})$. For any $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$, denote by $\operatorname{...

Confining a polytope to one side of an affine hyperplane
Judging whether one convex polytope is inside of another when both are expressed as a system of linear inequalities seems not to be an easy problem.
This answer on math.stackexchange.com claims the ...

Estimation via projecting onto a convex body
Assume that $\theta$ is in a convex body $K \in \mathbb{R}^n$ and we observe $y = \theta + z$, where $z$ is a noise term (following, say, the normal distribution). Consider an estimator of $\theta$ by ...

Constructing a minimum-volume outer approximation polytope with fewer facets
I am tackling the following problem:
Given a set of points $D \in \mathbb{R}^d$ and their convex hull, represented with $n$ facets, I want to construct a convex polytope $P$ with at most $m<n$ ...

Upper and Lower Bounds of the Total Surface Area of Convex Polytopes that Partition a Hypercube
Let $C$ be a hypercube in $\mathbb{R}^D$ with edge length of $L$. Let $\mathcal{P}_1,\ldots,\mathcal{P}_K$ be $K$ convex polytopes that partition $C$. Let $S_k$ be the surface area of the polytope $\...
