Abstract
The paper discusses the problem of aggregating fuzzy individual preferences into fuzzy group preferences. The problem is posed in the ‘ordinal’ fuzzy set theoretic framework. The structure of aggregation rules satisfying unanimity and independence is explored, given the assumption of maxmin transitivity for group as well as individual preferences. Characterizations are given for certain types of aggregation rules based on consensus pooling and for generalised rank-based rules.
