Abstract

The concept of incomplete fuzzy preference relation is discussed in this paper. We focus on additive consistent incomplete fuzzy preference relations, in which the correspondence between priority vector and incomplete fuzzy preference relation is investigated. We find that an additive consistent incomplete fuzzy preference relation does not imply there is a priority vector that satisfies additive transitivity.
