On stationary multiplier methods for the rounding of probabilities and the limiting law of the Sainte-Laguë divergence

Stationary multiplier methods are procedures for rounding real probabilities into rational proportions, while the Sainte-Laguë divergence is a reasonable measure for the cumulative error resulting from this rounding step...
