Abstract. There exist positive constants c0 and c1 c1 n such that for every 0 ` e ` 1a2 the n following holds: Let P be a convex polytope in Rn having N c0 ae vertices x1 Y F F F Y xN . Then there exists a subset A r f1Y F F F Y Ng, cardA 1 À 2eN, such that for all i e A voln P À voln convvertPnfxi g c1 neÀn1anÀ1 N Àn1anÀ1 X voln P n Also, if P is a convex polytope in Rn having N c0 ae facets. Let Hi be the half space determined by the facet Fi , which contains P i 1Y F F F Y N. Then there exists a subset A r f1Y F F F Y Ng, cardA 1 À 2eN, such that for all i e A voln jHi Hj À voln P voln P c1 neÀn1anÀ1 N Àn1anÀ1 X 1991 Mathematics Subject Classi®cation: 52A22. 1 Introduction In the last three decades, a number of papers have been published that deal with approximation of convex bodies in the Euclidean space Rn by convex polytopes.
