Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

There are two positive, absolute constants c1 and c2 so that the volume of the difference set of the d-dimensional Euclidean ball Bd2 and an inscribed polytope with n vertices is larger than c1 d vol d(Bd2) n-2/(d-1) for n ≥ (c2 d)(d-1)/2.
