Goal programming approaches to obtain the priority vectors from the intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations

The priority method on the intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation (IFPR) is proposed. In order to avoid the operational difficulty in dealing with the intuitionistic sets, the equivalent interval matrices of the IFPR are introduced. Based on the multiplicative consistent definition of the fuzzy interval preference relation (FIPR), the goal programming models for deriving the priority vector of the IFPR have been put forward by analyzing the relation between the IFNPR and the IFPR. This goal programming method is generalized to the case of group decision making with the weight information defined by each DM. Two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the application of the proposed models.
