Abstract
The problem of derivation of the weights of alternatives from pairwise comparison matrices is long standing. In this paper, Lexicographic Goal Programming (LGP) has been used to find out weights from pairwise inconsistent interval judgment matrices. A number of properties and advantages of LGP as a weight determination technique have been explored. An algorithm for identification and modification of inconsistent bounds is also provided. The proposed technique has been illustrated by means of numerical examples.

A method of scaling ratios using the principal eigenvector of a positive pairwise comparison matrix is investigated, showing that λmax = n is a necessary and sufficient condition for consistency.

A new method of finding the fuzzy weights in fuzzy hierarchical analysis which is the direct fuzzification of the original method used by Saaty (1980) in the analytic hierarchy process is presented.

The question of approximate articulation of preference values encountered when the decision maker prefers to state his strength of preference as a range of scale value rather than a single ‘precise’ value is explored.

Two new approaches for priority derivation when preferences are expressed as interval judgments are explored, one based on a simulation approach and the other based on mathematical programming.
