Fuzzy Analytical Network Process Implementation with Matlab

In many complex decision-making problems, the decision information provided by the decision makers is often imprecise or uncertain due to time limit, lack of data, or the decision makers’ limited attention and information processing capabilities. Decision-making in a fuzzy environment means a decision process in which the goals and/or the constraints, but not necessarily the system under control, are fuzzy in nature. This means that the goals and/or the constraints constitute classes of alternatives whose boundaries are not sharply defined. Fuzzy set, whose basic component is a membership function (Zadeh, 1965), was introduced in the following several decades. Fuzzy set theory has been applied successfully in the decision-making field.
