Abstract
This paper is concerned with two models of decision making in a fuzzy environment. The first one is based on Zadeh’s idea of a maximizing fuzzy set and on an approach to decisionmaking suggested by Bellman and Zadeh. The second model employs fuzzy preferences to describe the choice of “best” alternatives. Recent results in the area of representation theory for fuzzy binary relations are used to study relationships between these models.
