A Simplicial Approach to the Determination of an Integer Point of a Simplex

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1287/moor.23.2.403

We propose an algorithm to find an integer point of a simplex. The algorithm is based on an integer labeling rule and a triangulation of the space. Starting at an integer point, the algorithm leaves it along one of n rays and generates a sequence of adjacent simplices of varying dimension. Within a finite number of iterations, the algorithm either yields an integer point of the simplex or proves that no such point exists.
