Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the Choquet integral as a general tool for dealing with multiple criteria decision making. After a theoretical exposition giving the fundamental basis of the methodology, practical problems are addressed, in particular the problem of determining the fuzzy measure. We give an example of application, with two different approaches, together with their comparison. 1

7,280 Citations1999Lotfi A. Zadeh
The theory of possibility described in this paper is related to the theory of fuzzy sets by defining the concept of a possibility distribution as a fuzzy restriction which acts as an elastic constraint on the values that may be assigned to a variable.
