A Cevian simplex, for ,
corresponding to an interior point
of an
-simplex
is the
-simplex
whose
th polytope vertex
is the intersection
of the line
with the
-dimensional face
opposite
(Aliyev 2026).
If
has normalized barycentric coordinates
,
where
,
then

Writing
for the volume of an
-simplex, the volume
ratio is

The sharp volume bound is

centroid of

The -simplex
is one of the
component
-simplexes into which
partitions the Cevian simplex. Its volume
ratio is

Equality holds when

in the indicated order.
For ,
the component bound reduces to
