Abstract: | This report considers the expected combinatorial complexity of the Euclidean Voronoi diagram and the convex hull of sets
of n independent random points moving in unit time between two positions drawn independently from the same distribution in R
d
for fixed d\ge 2 as n→∈fty . It is proved that, when the source and destination distributions are the uniform distribution on the unit d -ball, these complexities are Θ(n
(d+1)/d
) for the Voronoi diagram and O(n
(d-1)/(d+1)
log n) for the convex hull. Additional results for the convex hull are O( log
d
n) for the uniform distribution in the unit d -cube and O( log
(d+1)/2
n) for the d -dimensional normal distribution.
