In this paper we are concerned with the problem of the dimension of the sth higher secant variety of the segre variety P-n x ... x P-n (t-times, t >= 3 and n > 1). in order to determine the dimensions of these varieties we construct a specific subscheme W of P-nt which is a generic configuration of the union of t linear subspaces of dimension n - 1 and s double points, and then we compute the value of Hilbert function of this scheme at degree t. We show that W has the expected Hilbert function at degree t, except possibly for certain n values of s.
