On Group Decision Making under Fuzzy Preferences

  • Chapter
Book cover Multiperson Decision Making Models Using Fuzzy Sets and Possibility Theory

Part of the book series: Theory and Decision Library ((TDLB,volume 18))

Abstract

In this paper some results on group decision making under fuzzy preferences are reviewed. Since preferences of men are often “fuzzy” and the direct interpersonal comparison of preferences is not easy, the above topic is inevitable and quite important. First we discuss how to represent fuzzy preferences. They might be represented by fuzzy choice sets, fuzzy binary relations or fuzzy utility functions. Secondly group decision making situations are classified according to the above levels in representing both individual and group preferences. Some methods are explained in each category.
