Uncertain fuzzy preference relations and their applications. (Q764988)

This research monograph is a comprehensive and well-structured treatise on uncertain fuzzy preference relations along with their applications. The material is organized as follows. Chapter 2 provides a relevant and carefully structured background about fuzzy preference relations, presents notions of reciprocity, consistency properties, and consistency checking. Chapter 3, 4, 6, and 8 are concerned with the models of preference relations formulated and analyzed in cases where uncertainty is expressed in terms of intervals, triangular fuzzy numbers, trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and intuitionistic sets. Two-tuple linguistic preference relations are covered in Chapter 5. The subject of group decision-making completed for various types of fuzzy preference relations covered in Chapter 7 expands the concepts and methods of preference relations to the environment involving a number of decision makers. Each chapter contains illustrative numeric examples demonstrating the main features of the algorithms. The book offers a fully updated, focused material, which will be of significant value to researchers and practitioners in fuzzy decision-making.
