Given a set $M$ of $m$ points in $R^n$, where the number of points $m$ is much larger than the dimension $n$, and given a point $x$ in $R^n$ that we may assume is in the convex closure of $M$, is there an (efficient) algorithm that finds $n+1$-subset of $M$ with smallest convex hull that contains $x$ (or, $k$-subset for some $k < n + 1$ if such exists)? "Smallest" is defined according to the volume in $R^n$ (or $R^k-1$). "Efficient" would imply something much better than the brute force strategy that examines all $n+1$-subsets of $M$. Thank you.
