摘要

地理上的考虑，如邻近性和紧凑性，是实践中政治区划的必要因素。然而，在没有这些约束的情况下，对问题的分析产生了数学见解，可以为现实世界的模型构建提供信息。特别是，它澄清了比例性和竞争性之间的鲜明对比，以及如何在适当制定的目标函数中加以克服。它还揭示了备受讨论的效率差距作为不公正划分选区标准的严重弱点。

Political districting without geography

Geographical considerations such as contiguity and compactness are necessary elements of political districting in practice. Yet an analysis of the problem without such constraints yields mathematical insights that can inform real-world model construction. In particular, it clarifies the sharp contrast between proportionality and competitiveness and how it might be overcome in a properly formulated objective function. It also reveals serious weaknesses of the much-discussed efficiency gap as a criterion for gerrymandering.
