Given a convex polygon. How to find ( fast ) a point for which the maximum distance from vertices is the smallest. Here is told a way, but I can't prove it and it seems to be incorrect.

This is an instance of the Smallest circle problem (this problem doesn't specify that the points have to form a convex polygon, but as the optimal algorithm for the general case runs in linear time I guess you can't do much better).
Megiddo proposed a deterministic algorithm to solve it in linear time (you can look it up if you want), but I particularly like this randomized approach (which is expected linear):
