It is shown that unfuzzy nondominated solutions to the decision-making problem exist, provided the original fuzzy relation satisfies some topological requirements, and a simple method of calculating these solutions is indicated.

160 Citations1992Patrice Perny, Bernard Roy

58 Citations1998Bartel Van de Walle, Bernard De Baets +1 more
It is shown that the choice of a continuous non-Archimedean triangular norm having zero divisors is not compatible with the basic requirement: the sets of degrees of strict preference, indifference and incomparability in [0,1[ are always bounded from above by a value strictly smaller than 1.

Additional arguments for the use of Łukasiewicz triplets in the definition of fuzzy preference structures are supplied in what is called the ‘identity case’, and an important transformation theorem indicates that any fuzzy preference structure with respect to a de Morgan triplet containing such a continuous non-Archimedean triangular norm having zero divisors can be transformed into a fuzzy preferenceStructures.

The particular intermediate role of the θ-weak-Ferrers property of the fuzzy preference relation of a FPS without incomparability Πθ is demonstrated: on the one hand it is a necessary condition for the FPS to be a strong fuzzy interval order, while on the other hand it was a sufficient condition for this structure to beA weak fuzzy interval orders.
