Multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) problems often involve a complex decision process in which multiple requirements and fuzzy conditions have to be taken into consideration simultaneously. The existing approaches for solving this problem in a fuzzy environment are complex. Combining the concepts of grey relation and pairwise comparison, a new fuzzy MCDM method is proposed. First, the fuzzy an...

Pairwise comparison matrices are increasingly used in settings where some pairs missing. However, there exist few inconsistency indices for similar incomplete data sets and no reasonable measure has an associated threshold. This paper generalises the famous rule of thumb acceptable level inconsistency, proposed by Saaty, to pairwise matrices. The extension is based on choosing missing elements ...

the assessment of de-desertification alternatives can be effective in controlling the reclamation of disturbed landand avoiding destruction of areas at risk. until now, there has been no method to consider different criteria andalternatives, or to present the optimum alternatives based on systematic structures and experts’ perspectives.desertification is a complex process resulting from various...
