Firstly, another expression of interval numbers is given. Then, some basic definitions on consistency and weak transitivity of real and interval fuzzy preference relations are described. Based on these definitions, a two-phase process for determining the priorities from interval fuzzy preference relations is presented. Finally, two exam- ples are used to illustrate the use of the proposed approach.展开更多

These data are obtained from the de-excitation process of electrons in metals. A comparison between theory and experiment demonstrated that the new relation between energy and time is fitted much better for the experimental results than the well-known relation due to the Heisenberg theory.展开更多

We first give an index to measure the similarity degree of two interval fuzzy preference relations, and utilize the similarity index to check the consistency degree of group opinion. Furthermore, we use the error-propagation principle to determine the priority vector of the aggregated matrix, and then develop an approach to group decision making based on interval fuzzy preference relations. Finally, we give an example to illustrate the developed approach.展开更多
