A MATRIX METHOD FOR THE FUZZY ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS
This paper proposes a new method for finding fuzzy weights in the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), which fuzzifies the derived formulation of an eigenvector directly. The presented formulation only needs information about the upper triangular matrix and the assumption of the reciprocal matrix in the original AHP is not necessary. This characteristic enables the FAHP to be used without concern for rationality of the reciprocal matrix. In addition, two applications are presented to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method and to compare it with other FAHP models.
