The algorithm for topological correction of lists of simplexes of different dimensions was used for analyzing the published methods for determining internal diagonals in polyhedration of reciprocal systems. By this algorithm, errors were found in the polyhedration of the quaternary systems Ca,Na,K||F,MoO 4 , K,Na,Li||Cl,NO 3 , Ba,Na,K||F,MoO 4 , Na,K||Cl,NO 3 ,NO 2 , and Li,K,Ba||F,WO 4 and the quinary system Li,K,Ca,Ba||F,WO 4 , which were used for illustrating the application of the methods. Advantages of the algo rithms were demonstrated in cases of competition of internal secants.
