A centrally symmetric convex polyhedron in $\Bbb R^n$ shifted from the origin with possibly $e^{\alpha n}$ number of vertices at some $\alpha>0$ has an unique ellipsoid of maximum volume called John's ellipsoid inscribed in it with barycenter of the polyhedron agreeing with center of the ellipsoid.
- Does getting an uniform sample of $O(n^c)$ vertices for some fixed $c\geq2$ suffice to approximate the ellipsoid up to $\epsilon$ factor in each axis provided we know that the barycenter agrees with center of the ellipsoid and we know the center within some neighborhood?
I am asking this since the ellipsoid has only $O(n^2)$ parameters.
