Abstract: Abstract Generically, the problem of apportionment may be defined as the problem of assigning a vector of integer numbers to each of a number of entitled entities that comes as close as possible to giving each entity its proportionate share of representation. Within that, there are a number of sub-problems. The correct solution (if a uniquely best solution exists) to one may not be the correct solution to another.
