Abstract

Interval-valued fuzzy relations can be interpreted as a tool that may help to model in a better way imperfect information, especially under imperfectly defined facts and imprecise knowledge. Preference structures are of great interest nowadays because of their applications. From a weak preference relation derive the following relations: strict preference, indifference and incomparability, which by aggregations and negations are created and examined in this paper. Moreover, we propose the algorithm of decision making by using new preference structure.
