The fiber $P^I_{A,b}$ is called atomic, if $P^I_{A,b}=P^I_{A,b_1}+P^I_{A,b_2}$ implies $b=b_1$ or $b=b_2$. In this paper we present a novel algorithm to compute such atomic fibers. An algorithmic solution to appearing subproblems, application to integer programming, and computational examples are included as well.Combinatoricstext
