Abstract
Accurate and efficient numerical methods for the solution of optimization problems that arise in the comparison of solution preferences with the methods of the theory of criteria importance in the case of interval estimates of degrees of superiority of certain criteria over others, as well as in the case of interval restrictions on the growth of preferences along the criteria range, are suggested.
