Abstract
In this paper, we discuss some new properties of fuzzy consistent matrix, propose a novel method to transform fuzzy reciprocal matrix into fuzzy consistent matrix and calculate the corresponding priority vector. Simultaneously, some concepts including fuzzy consistent index and fuzzy consistent ratio are put forward, and an acceptable value(< 0.1) is given to adjust fuzzy reciprocal matrix. Finally, we investigate the convergence of our proposed algorithm and use two numerical examples to illustrate our proposed method reasonable.
