Deriving a final ranking from fuzzy preferences: An approach compatible with the principle of correspondence (Q2427116)

The paper is devoted to the decision making using ranking technology and substituting classical binary relations over a set of objects by fuzzy preferences. The authors suppose that this approach is similar to the principle of correspondence first proposed by Niels Bohr for classical and quantum mechanics connection in the past century. Consisting of seven sections, this paper includes: problem statement and short survey and analyse of existing approaches, description of proposed approach including proofs of three theorems and five properties, evolutionary algorithm for problem solving, examples, illustrating it's work and results of computer experiment with the number of ranking objects not exceeding 10. Using fuzzy logic the authors ignore graph presentation of problem put by determination of minimal feedback arc set in a weighted directed graphs with biconnected components.
