Abstract: We consider geometric functionals of the convex hull of normally distributed random points in Euclidean space $\R^d$. In particular, we determine the asymptotic behaviour of the expected value of such functionals and of related geometric probabilities, as the number of points increases.

Keywords: Random points, convex hull, $f$-vector, geometric probability, normal distribution, Gaussian sample, Stochastic Geometry
