In this study, first, the definitions of the preference relation matrix and the 0-1 permutation preference matrix of the linguistic judgement matrix are given. The method of judging the satisfactory consistency of the linguistic judgement matrix by the standard 0-1 arrangement matrix is obtained. This method not only solves the problem of satisfactory consistency when there are no equivalent objects but is also simple and effective. Then, the definition of the cyclic circle matrix of the three objects is given. According to the size of the preference value of the object line, the cyclic cycle and the adjusted language judgement matrix are obtained. Finally, the rationality and validity of the method are verified by examples.
The decision-maker obtains the pairwise comparisons matrix by comparing two entities. In the process of comparing the two entities, the relationship between the two entities and other entities is not considered. In this way, the judgment may be illogical. This paper mainly studies the satisfactory consistency of the interval number pairwise comparisons matrix based on cyclic matrix. Firstly, the illogical judgment entity in the process of the decision-maker’s judgment is expressed by the cyclic matrix. There are three entities and four entities to form the cyclic matrix. The relationship and various forms of the cyclic cycle formed by the four entities and the three entities are discussed; then, the satisfactory consistency of the interval number pairwise comparisons matrix is determined by judging whether there is a cyclic matrix in the submatrix of the interval number pairwise comparisons matrix. Finally, two examples are given to verify the rationality and effectiveness of the method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
