An Interactive Algorithm to Deal with Inconsistencies in the Representation of Cardinal Information

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 80))

Abstract

We present a new interactive algorithm allowing to solve the inconsistencies problem, when the preferences of a decision maker cannot be representable by a numerical function. This algorithm is based on technics of linear programming and the type of preferences we use are cardinal information.
