Abstract

The PROMETHEE Methods are particularly appropriate to treat multicriteria problems of the following type:

$$Max\,\left\{ {{f_1}(x),{f_2}(x),...,{f_j}(x),...,{f_k}(x)|x \in A} \right\}$$
((1.1))

for which A is a finite set of possible alternatives and fj(x), j = 1, 2,…,k a set of k evaluation criteria.
