摘要
The asymptotic distribution of the area V-n outside the convex hull of n i.i.d. points uniformly distributed on the two-dimensional unit disk is studied. The asymptotic variance of V-n is found to be of the order n(-5/3), and the asymptotic distribution of V-n shown to be normal. The results are obtained by carefully analyzing the strength of dependence between sample points at different locations close to the boundary of the unit disk.
