Abstract

Multiple criteria decision making takes place in many areas of operations research and management sciences. Generally, a multiple criteria decision making problem involves several alternatives, criteria and the ratings of these alternatives with respect to different criteria. Sometimes the weights of criteria are completely given while sometime are not. Different methods have been proposed regarding to different scenarios to obtain the final optimal solutions for the multiple criteria decision making problems.
