Abstract:

This paper proposes a quadratic programming method (QPM) for ranking alternatives based on multiplicative preference relations (MPRs) and fuzzy preference relations (FPRs). The proposed QPM can be used for deriving a ranking from either a MPR or a FPR, or a group of MPRs, or a group of FPRs, or their mixtures. The proposed approach is tested and examined with two numerical examples, and comparative analyses with the existing methods are provided to show the effectiveness and advantages of the QPM.

A Goal Programming Method for Ranking Alternatives Based on Fuzzy Preference Relation

Fuzzy sets theory might provide the flexibility needed to represent the uncertainty resulting from the lack of knowledge [1-3]. The fuzzy preference relation is a kind of representation of the information about provided by the decision maker [4-6]. It is an important research topic how to choose an optimal alternative or rank alternatives from a finite set of alternatives according to the fuzzy...

Distance-based consensus models for fuzzy and multiplicative preference relations

This paper proposes a distance-based consensus model for fuzzy preference relations where the weights of fuzzy preference relations are automatically determined. Two indices, an individual to group consensus index (ICI) and a group consensus index (GCI), are introduced. An iterative consensus reaching algorithm is presented and the process terminates until both the ICI and GCI are controlled wi...

Integrating multiplicative preference relations in a multipurpose decision-making model based on fuzzy preference relations

The aim of this paper is to study the integration of multiplicative preference relation as a preference representation structure in fuzzy multipurpose decision-making problems. Assuming fuzzy multipurpose decision-making problems under di4erent preference representation structures (ordering, utilities and fuzzy preference relations) and using the fuzzy preference relations as uniform representa...

Multiperson Decision Making Based on Multiplicative Preference Relations Multiperson Decision Making Based on Multiplicative Preference Relations

A multiperson decision making problem, where the information about the alternatives provided by the experts can be presented by means of diierent preference representation structures (preference orderings, utility functions and multiplicative preference relations) is studied. Assuming the multiplicative preference relation as the uniform element of the preference representation, a multiplicativ...

A Classiication Method of Alternatives for Multiple Preference Ordering Criteria Based on Fuzzy Majority a Classiication Method of Alternatives for Multiple Preference Ordering Criteria Based on Fuzzy Majority

The purpose of this paper is to present a classiication method of alternatives for multiple preference ordering criteria based on the concept of fuzzy majority. The fuzzy majority is represented by a fuzzy quantiier, and applied in the aggregation by means of an OWA operator whose weights are calculated by the fuzzy quantiier. For every preference ordering criterion we derive a preference order...

Interval-Valued Multiplicative Intuitionistic Fuzzy Preference Relations

Inspired by the idea of multiplicative intuitionistic preference relation (Xia MM et al. Preference relations based on intuitionistic multiplicative information, IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, 2013, 21(1): 113-133), in this paper, a new preference relation called the interval-valued multiplicative intuitionistic preference relation is developed. It is analyzed the basic operations for inte...
