Abstract
We prove that the principal eigenvector of a positive matrix represents the relative dominance of its rows of ranking of alternatives in a decision represented by the rows of a pairwise comparison matrix.
Resumen
Se demuestra que el autovector de una matriz positiva representa la dominación relativa de las filas de la matriz o del orden de las alternativas en una decisión donde las preferencias son representadas mediante las filas de una matriz de comparaciones en pares.
