Fuzzy Multicriteria Decision-Making: Models, Methods and Applications

Description

Fuzzy Multicriteria Decision-Making: Models, Algorithms and Applications addresses theoretical and practical gaps in considering uncertainty and multicriteria factors encountered in the design, planning, and control of complex systems. Including all prerequisite knowledge and augmenting some parts with a step-by-step explanation of more advanced concepts, the authors provide a systematic and comprehensive presentation of the concepts, design methodology, and detailed algorithms. These are supported by many numeric illustrations and a number of application scenarios to motivate the reader and make some abstract concepts more tangible. Fuzzy Multicriteria Decision-Making: Models, Algorithms and Applications will appeal to a wide audience of researchers and practitioners in disciplines where decision-making is paramount, including various branches of engineering, operations research, economics and management; it will also be of interest to graduate students and senior undergraduate students in courses such as decision making, management, risk management, operations research, numerical methods, and knowledge-based systems.Content: Chapter 1 Decision?Making in System Project, Planning, Operation, and Control: Motivation, Objectives, and Basic Concepts (pages 1–19): Chapter 2 Notions and Concepts of Fuzzy Sets: An Introduction (pages 21–62): Chapter 3 Selected Design and Processing Aspects of Fuzzy Sets (pages 63–102): Chapter 4 Continuous Models of Multicriteria Decision?Making and their Analysis (pages 103–136): Chapter 5 Introduction to Preference Modeling with Binary Fuzzy Relations (pages 137–153): Chapter 6 Construction of Fuzzy Preference Relations (pages 155–191): Chapter 7 Discrete Models of Multicriteria Decision?Making and their Analysis (pages 193–246): Chapter 8 Generalization of a Classic Approach to Dealing with Uncertainty of Information for Multicriteria Decision Problems (pages 247–261): Chapter 9 Group Decision?Making: Fuzzy Models (pages 263–291): Chapter 10 Use of Consensus Schemes in Group Decision?Making (pages 293–333):
