We consider the asymptotic behaviour of convex hulls $$ W_n = \\conv\\ {X_1(t), X_n(t), t \\in T}$$ and show that with probability 1 $$ \\lim_{n\\to \\infty} \\frac{1}{\\sqrt{2\\ln n}} W_n = W $$ (in the sense of Hausdorff distance), where the limit shape $W$ is defined by the covariance structure of $X$: $W = \\conv {}\\{K_t, t\\in T}, K_t$ being the concentration ellipsoid of $X(t).$ The asymptotic behavior of the mathematical expectations $Ef(W_n)$, where $f$ is an homogeneous functional is also studied.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-04-27T20:17:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "convex hull", "gaussian samples", "separable metric space", "asymptotic behavior", "asymptotic behaviour" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1004.4908D" } } }
