For a convex body B, the membership question is the following: given a point x, is x in B? In this dissertation, we study the computational complexity of convex bodies in terms of the membership question. Since this question can be quite difficult to answer, we also study the computational complexity of testing membership for sets approximating a convex body. We give two new approximation constructions, along with some metric analysis of these approximations.Ph.D.MathematicsPure SciencesUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.
