ON ADDITIVE CONSISTENT PROPERTIES OF THE INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY PREFERENCE RELATION

We investigate the properties of additive consistent intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations (IFPR). Usually, consistency in fuzzy preference relations (FPR) is associated with transitivity such as general transitivity, weak transitivity, and restricted max max transitivity. This paper extends the consistency properties of the FPR to those of the IFPR. Since weak transitivity is the minimal logical requirement and a fundamental principle of human judgment, this paper develops three determination theorems and the corresponding algorithms to judge the weak transitivity of an IFPR from different angles. Two numerical examples show that the three methods proposed are feasible and effective.
