==== {{Anchor|Imperiali method|Danish method}}Stationary family ==== A divisor method is called '''stationary'''<ref name="Pukelsheim-2017-4" />{{Rp|68}} if for some real number <math>r\in[0,1]</math>, its signposts are of the form <math>d(k) = k+r</math>. The Adams, Webster, and d'Hondt methods are stationary, while Dean and Huntington-Hill are not. A stationary method corresponds to rounding numbers up if they exceed the [[weighted arithmetic mean]] of {{Math|''k''}} and {{Math|''k''+1}}.<ref name="Pukelsheim-2017-1" /> Smaller values of {{Math|''r''}} are friendlier to smaller parties.<ref name="Pukelsheim-2017-2" /> [[Elections in Denmark|Danish elections]] allocate [[leveling seat]]s at the province level using-member constituencies. It divides the number of votes received by a party in a multi-member constituency by 0.33, 1.33, 2.33, 3.33 etc. The fencepost sequence is given by {{Math|1=post(''k'') = ''k''+{{frac|1|3}}}}; this aims to allocate seats closer to equally, rather than exactly proportionally.<ref name="Denmark-2016" />
