    The paper presents an algorithm for the solution of the following problem: given points \(x_ 1,x_ 2,\dots,x_ k\) and \(x\) in a \(k\)- dimensional space, determine the set of all coefficients (in \(n\)- dimensional space) of convex combinations of \(x_ 1,\dots,x_ k\) giving \(x\). This set is equal to the convex combination of so-called simplicial solutions. The efficiency of the algorithm is also studied.
