Abstract
The concept of outranking relations was born of difficulties encountered with diverse concrete problems (see Abgueguen (1971), Bétolaud and Février (1973), Buffet et al. (1967), Charpentier and Jacquet-Lagrèze (1976)/ Laffy (1966)). Since then, numerous applications of the concept have been developed. Among the most recent ones, we can mentions Barda et al. (1989), Climaco et al. (1988), Martel and Nadeau (1988), Maystre and Simos (1987), Parent and Schnäbele (1988), Rabeharisoa (1988), Renard (1986), Roy et al. (1986), Slowinski and Treichel (1988). Many others will be found in Jacquet-Lagrèze and Siskos (1983), de Montgolfier and Bertier (1978), Roy (1985), Schärlig (1985).
