Fuzzy preferences in an optimization perspective

This paper should be considered as an introduction to the fundamental properties of binary fuzzy relations. It summarizes some of the proposed definitions of a fuzzy preference relation, compares them and introduces the reader to the difficult problems of ranking and choice on the basis of a preference relation. The last part points out an important role of fuzzy relations in multicriteria analysis.
