Random convex hulls: a variance revisited (with S. Finch).
Advances in Applied Probability, 36, 981-986 (2004)

An exact expression is determined for the asymptotic constant c2 in the limit theoreom of Groeneboom (1988) which states that the number of vertices of the convex hull of a uniform sample of n random points from a circular disk satisfies a central limit theorem as n tends to infinity with asymptotic variance 2 \pi c2 n1/3.
