Automation and Remote Control Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Papers on the construction of preference relations by an additive aim function having multiple inexact (interval) estimates for its coefficients are briefly reviewed. Conditions for the nondominance and potential optimality of variants are stated. New results on the relations between two basic definitions of preference relations and qualitative criteria are given.
