Abstract.

Let Δ be an n-dimensional simplex in Euclidean space \({\mathbb{E}}^n\) contained in an n-dimensional closed ball B. The following question is considered. Given any point \(x \,{\in}\,\triangle\), does there exist a reflection \(r : {\mathbb{E}}^n \rightarrow {\mathbb{E}}^n\) in one of the facets of Δ such that \(r(x)\in B\)?
