✦ Synopsis

Approaches to solving real world decision problems should recognise their multi-objective nature along with the often fuzziness of these objectives. This paper proposes that an approach using the decision maker in an interactive environment has distinct advantages over methods which use models of the decision maker's behaviour to discover "optimum" solutions. The proposed computer-aided approach avoids the problems of quantifying objective functions and allows the decision maker to explore the region of feasible solutions while imposing his own value judgements. The technique is thought to be of value in problem areas where subjectively assessed criteria are likely to play an important role, e.g. welfare and social planning, urban and regional planning, and land use management.

In this paper hierarchical multicriteria optimization problems are addressed in a convex programming framework. It is assumed that the criteria are aggregated into a nonlinear function, which renders the problem nonseparable, in general. The projection of the problem onto the criteria space is used

In fuzzy multicriteria decision making, the evaluations for criteria are aggregated using a suitable decision function. Many of the aggregation operators from fuzzy set theory that can be used as decision functions assume that the criteria have equal importance. This paper considers the extension of
