Modification of the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process via different ranking methods

TL;DR: Magnitude‐based fuzzy AHP (MFAHP), which is one of the proposed methods, has outperformed all other methods according to accurate weight and computational load, and the other proposed method, called the total difference‐ based fuzzy A HP (TDFAHP) gave better results than the frequently used Chang's fuzzy extent analysis method.

On consistency and ranking of alternatives in fuzzy AHP

TL;DR: A fuzzy consistency definition with consideration of a tolerance deviation is proposed, whereby the fuzzy ratios of relative importance, allowing certain tolerance deviation, are formulated as constraints on the membership values of the local priorities.
