This paper investigates the multiple attribute decision making problem with preference information on alternatives, in which multiple decision makers give their preference information in three forms, i.e., preference orderings, utility values and fuzzy preference relation. A new approach is presented to make use of both the decision makers' social fuzzy preference relation on alternatives and d...

The problem of nding the solution set of alternatives when a linguistic preference relation represents a collective preference is analyzed. Three choice sets for a linguistic preference relation are studied and some relations between them are pointed out. The concept of linguistic choice function is introduced and some particular cases are analyzed.

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...

To examine extended control over local choice, the present study investigated preference in transition as food-rate ratio provided by two levers changed across seven components within daily sessions, and food-amount ratio changed across phases. Phase 1 arranged a food-amount ratio of 4:1 (i.e., the left lever delivered four pellets and the right lever one pellet); Phase 2 reversed the food-amou...

Weighted aggregation of fuzzy preference relations on the set of alternatives by several criteria in decision-making problems is considered. Pairwise comparisons with respect to importance of the criteria are given in fuzzy preference relation as well. The aggregation procedure uses the composition between each two relations of the alternatives. The membership function of the newly constructed ...

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...
