- We consider the problem of apportioning a fixed number of seats in a national parliament to the candidates of different parties that are elected in constituencies so as to meet party and constituency constraints. We propose a maxmin formulation of the problem. The purpose is to obtain a fair apportionment of the parliament seats, in the sense that the minimum number of voters behind any possible parliament majority is maximum. We illustrate the concepts with some examples, including an example from the last Icelandic election

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper an entropy model with variable target is presented, in which target values are assumed to belong to a specified convex set, so that multiple base-year information and forecasts of future trends can be handled without prior aggregation of such information into one fixed target.Three solution methods for such a model are presented -- one cutting-plane and two search methods -- all of which utilize the fact that entropy models with fixed targets can be solved efficiently. Some comments on potential applications and reasonable target-set specifications are made and numerical examples are presented
