You are absolutely right - but when you look at the example, I want
that the FINAL latin hypercube sets sum up to one, and the values
RANGING from 0 to 1, i.e. (0.5, 0.5) would also satisfy the condition.

Probably both - but to try again:

1) values ranging between 0 and 1 (0 <= x <= 1)
2) all elements in one set of the lLatin Hypercube should add to one.

Assuming two dimensions, (1,0) & (0,1) & (0.3, 0.7) , ... would all
satisfy the condition 1 and 2;

(0.8, 0.3) would satisfy 1, but not 2;
(-1, 2) would satisfy 2, but not 1

Hope this clarifies my question,

Rainer
