摘要：A new approach is grounded with respect to the population paradox (PPr).Further on, the paradox of population influence (PPi) is proposed. It is proventhat Hamilton method is immune to the PPi, and that d'Hondt, Sainte-Laguë,Huntington-Hill and Adapted Sainte-Laguë methods - are not. By computersimulation, the percentage of non-immunity of Hamilton method to PPr, and the oneof d'Hondt, Sainte-Laguë, Huntington-Hill and Adapted Sainte-Laguëdivisor methods to PPi, is estimated. For a large range of initial data, thispercentage, in the case of the four investigated divisor methods, does notexceed, on average, 0.6-0.8 %, that is one case per a total of 120-170 cases.
