ACUTA: A novel method for eliciting additive value functions on the basis of holistic preference statements

In multiple criteria decision aiding, it is common to use methods that are capable of automatically extracting a decision or evaluation model from partial information provided by the decision maker about a preference structure. In general, there is more than one possible model, leading to an indetermination which is dealt with sometimes arbitrarily in existing methods. This paper aims at filling this theoretical gap: we present a novel method, based on the computation of the analytic center of a polyhedron, for the selection of additive value functions that are compatible with holistic assessments of preferences. We demonstrate the most important characteristics of this technique with an experimental and comparative study of several existing methods belonging to the UTA family.

The extended QUALIFLEX method for multiple criteria decision analysis based on interval type-2 fuzzy sets and applications to medical decision making

QUALIFLEX, a generalization of Jacquet-Lagreze’s permutation method, is a useful outranking method in decision analysis because of its flexibility with respect to cardinal and ordinal information. This paper develops an extended QUALIFLEX method for handling multiple criteria decision-making problems in the context of interval type-2 fuzzy sets. Interval type-2 fuzzy sets contain membership values that are crisp intervals, which are the most widely used of the higher order fuzzy sets because of their relative simplicity. Using the linguistic rating system converted into interval type-2 trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, the extended QUALIFLEX method investigates all possible permutations of the alternatives with respect to the level of concordance of the complete preference order. Based on a signed distance-based approach, this paper proposes the concordance/discordance index, the weighted concordance/discordance index, and the comprehensive concordance/discordance index as evaluative criteria of the chosen hypothesis for ranking the alternatives. The feasibility and applicability of the proposed methods are illustrated by a medical decision-making problem concerning acute inflammatory demyelinating disease, and a comparative analysis with another outranking approach is conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.     

Convergence properties and practical estimation of the probability of rank reversal in pairwise comparisons for multi-criteria decision making problems

In this paper, we address the impact of uncertainty introduced when the experts complete pairwise comparison matrices, in the context of multi-criteria decision making. We first discuss how uncertainty can be quantified and modeled and then show how the probability of rank reversal scales with the number of experts. We consider the impact of various aspects which may affect the estimation of probability of rank reversal in the context of pairwise comparisons, such as the uncertainty level, alternative preference scales and different weight estimation methods. We also consider the case where the comparisons are carried out in a fuzzy manner. It is shown that in most circumstances, augmenting the size of the expert group beyond 15 produces a small change in the probability of rank reversal. We next address the issue of how this probability can be estimated in practice, from information gathered simply from the comparison matrices of a single expert group. We propose and validate a scheme which yields an estimate for the probability of rank reversal and test the applicability of this scheme under various conditions. The framework discussed in the paper can allow decision makers to correctly choose the number of experts participating in a pairwise comparison and obtain an estimate of the credibility of the outcome.     

Multi-criteria decision aid for the formulation of sustainable technological energy priorities using linguistic variables

Implementation of new and innovative energy technologies is a key mean towards a sustainable energy system. Currently, governments have to decide from an increasingly diverse mix of them, the ones which warrant support, including funding and other incentives for private sector efforts. However, appraising energy technologies in terms of their sustainability is a really complex task, considering the series of uncertainties and implications that have to be encountered so as to obtain realistic and transparent results. In this context, the main aim of this paper is to present a direct and flexible multi-criteria decision making approach, using linguistic variables, to assist policy makers in formulating sustainable technological energy priorities. Furthermore, its software realization will be applied to a number of technologies, in the context of the Greek Technology Foresight Programme, and the results will be presented and discussed.     

Note on “Some models for deriving the priority weights from interval fuzzy preference relations”

Deriving accurate interval weights from interval fuzzy preference relations is key to successfully solving decision making problems. Xu and Chen (2008) proposed a number of linear programming models to derive interval weights, but the definitions for the additive consistent interval fuzzy preference relation and the linear programming model still need to be improved. In this paper, a numerical example is given to show how these definitions and models can be improved to increase accuracy. A new additive consistency definition for interval fuzzy preference relations is proposed and novel linear programming models are established to demonstrate the generation of interval weights from an interval fuzzy preference relation.     

A necessary and sufficient condition to a pareto optimal without optimizing the weighting criterion

The easiest thecnique to reduce the classical multiple criteria decision problem into a reasonable single criterion decision problem is the weighting method. Po-Lung Yu (1985) gives a well known necessary condition fory ⁰ to be a Pareto optimal, namelyy ⁰ maximizes λ^ty overY, for some λ ∈ℝ ^p, such that λ_i≥0 for alli and some λ_j>0. In this brief note we generalize the necessary condition of Po-Lung Yu.     

Auxiliary Equations Approach for the Stochastic Unsteady Navier-Stokes Equations with Additive Random Noise

This paper presents a Martingale regularization method for the stochastic Navier-Stokes equations with additive noise. The original system is split into two equivalent parts, the linear stochastic Stokes equations with Martingale solution and the stochastic modified Navier-Stokes equations with relatively-higher regularities. Meanwhile, a fractional Laplace operator is introduced to regularize the noise term. The stability and convergence of numerical scheme for the pathwise modified Navier-Stokes equations are proved.The comparisons of non-regularized and regularized noises for the Navier-Stokes system are numerically presented to further demonstrate the efficiency of our numerical scheme.

Additive schwarz methods for indefinite hypersingular integral equations in R3 - the p-version

We propose and analyze preconditioners for the p-version of the boundary element method in three dimensions. We consider indefinite hypersingular integral equations on surfaces and use quadrilateral elements for the boundary discretization. We use the GMRES method as iterative solver for the linear systems and prove for an overlapping additive Schwarz method that the number of iterations is bounded. This bound is independent of the polynomial degree of the ansatz functions and of the size of the underlying mesh. For a modified diagonal scaling, which uses special basis functions, we prove that the number of iterations grows only polylogarithmically in the polynomial degree. Here, a sufficiently fine mesh is required. Numerical results supporting the theory are presented.

Multilevel Additive Schwarz Method for the Version of the Galerkin Boundary Element Method

We study a multilevel additive Schwarz method for the - version of the Galerkin boundary element method with geometrically graded meshes. Both hypersingular and weakly singular integral equations of the first kind are considered. As it is well known the - version with geometric meshes converges exponentially fast in the energy norm. However, the condition number of the Galerkin matrix in this case blows up exponentially in the number of unknowns . We prove that the condition number of the multilevel additive Schwarz operator behaves like . As a direct consequence of this we also give the results for the -level preconditioner and also for the - version with quasi-uniform meshes. Numerical results supporting our theory are presented.

     

A multicriteria approach to sustainable energy supply for the rural poor

Despite significant progress in energy technology, about two billion people worldwide, particularly the poor in rural areas of developing countries, have no access to electricity. Decision-making concerning the most appropriate energy technology for supplying these areas has been difficult; existing energy decision-support tools have been useful but are mostly incomplete. Trade-offs, as well as impacts that can be positive or negative, may emerge as a result of implementing modern forms of energy. These can affect both community’s livelihoods as well as the confidence of decision-makers in relation to alternative technologies. The paper discusses a newly designed multicriteria approach and its novel robustness analysis for selecting energy generation systems for the improvement of livelihoods in rural areas. The proposed methodology builds upon a sustainable rural livelihoods framework to address multiple interactions and calculate trade-offs aimed at boosting decision-makers’ confidence in the selected technologies. The methodology is tested via a case study in Colombia.     

A matrix approach to status quo analysis in the graph model for conflict resolution

An algebraic method is developed to carry out status quo analysis within the framework of the graph model for conflict resolution. As a form of post-stability analysis, status quo analysis aims at confirming that possible equilibria, or states stable for all decision-makers, are in fact reachable from the status quo or any other initial state. Although pseudo-codes for status quo analysis have been developed, they have never been implemented within a practical decision support system. The novel matrix approach to status quo analysis designed here is convenient for computer implementation and easy to employ, as is illustrated by an application to a real-world conflict case. Moveover, the proposed explicit matrix approach reveals an inherent link between status quo analysis and the traditional stability analysis and, hence, provides the possibility of establishing an integrated paradigm for stability and status quo analyses.

Evolutionary,constructive and hybrid procedures for the bi-objective set packing problem

The bi-objective set packing problem is a multi-objective combinatorial optimization problem similar to the well-known set covering/partitioning problems. To our knowledge and surprise, this problem has not yet been studied whereas several applications have been reported. Unfortunately, solving the problem exactly in a reasonable time using a generic solver is only possible for small instances. We designed three alternative procedures for approximating solutions to this problem. The first is derived from the original ‘Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm’, which is a population-based metaheuristic. The second is an adaptation of the ‘Greedy Randomized Adaptative Search Procedure’, which is a constructive metaheuristic. As underlined in the overview of the literature summarized here, almost all the recent, effective procedures designed for approximating optimal solutions to multi-objective combinatorial optimization problems are based on a blend of techniques, called hybrid metaheuristics. Thus, the third alternative, which is the primary subject of this paper, is an original hybridization of the previous two metaheuristics. The algorithmic aspects, which differ from the original definition of these metaheuristics, are described, so that our results can be reproduced. The performance of our procedures is reported and the computational results for 120 numerical instances are discussed.
