Reasonable properties for the ordering of fuzzy quantities. I (Q5931158)

In the literature more than 35 tentatives of solving the problem of ordering fuzzy quantities are presented. They can be classified into three categories: using the defuzzification indices; comparision with reference quantities; based on a fuzzy relation. In this paper the first and the second category are briefly presented. A set of axioms for an ordering approach is proposed and the presented variants are analysed from the point of view of these axioms.
