For a nonnegative subadditive function h on Z d , with limiting approximation g(x) = lim n h(nx)/n, it is of interest to obtain bounds on the discrepancy between g(x) and h(x), typically of order |x| with ν < 1. For certain subadditive h(x), particularly those which are expectations associated with optimal random paths from 0 to x, in a somewhat standardized way a more natural and seemingly weaker property can be established: every x is in a bounded multiple of the convex hull of the set of sites satisfying a similar bound. We show that this convex-hull property implies the desired bound for all x. Applications include rates of convergence in limiting-shape results for first-passage percolation (standard and oriented) and longest common subsequences and bounds on the error in the exponential-decay approximation to the off-axis connectivity function for subcritical Bernoulli bond percolation on the integer lattice.
