 Solution

Suppose $y$ in the capped simplex has a coordinate strictly between zero and one. Since ${\sum }_i{y}_i=k$ is an integer, it cannot have exactly one such coordinate: the other coordinates would contribute an integer sum. Hence there are distinct $i,j$ with $0<y_i,y_j<1$.

Choose $0<\epsilon <\min \{y_i,1-y_i,y_j,1-y_j\}$ and set $y^{\pm }=y\pm \epsilon (e_i-e_j)$, where $e_i,e_j$ are standard basis vectors. Both perturbed vectors satisfy the coordinate bounds and have the same coordinate sum. They are distinct and $y=(y^{+}+y^{-})/2$, so $y$ is not an extreme point.

Conversely, every zero-one vector in this convex polytope is an extreme point. If it were a nontrivial convex combination of two feasible vectors, each coordinate equal to zero would force both corresponding coordinates to be zero, and each coordinate equal to one would force both to be one. Thus the two vectors would equal the original one. The extreme points are therefore exactly the indicators of $k$-element subsets.
