The Analytic Hierarchy Process

TL;DR: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as mentioned in this paper is a systematic procedure for representing the elements of any problem hierarchically, which organizes the basic rationality by breaking down a problem into its smaller constituent parts and then guides decision makers through a series of pairwise comparison judgments to express the relative strength or intensity of impact of the elements in the hierarchy.

Axiomatic foundation of the analytic hierarchy process

TL;DR: In this article, an axiomatic treatment of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is presented, which is a special case of axioms for priority setting in systems with feedback which allow for a wide class of dependencies.

Procedures for Synthesizing Ratio Judgements

TL;DR: In this article, the requirements for functions synthesizing judgements (quantities or their ratios), in particular separability, associativity or bisymmetry, cancellativity, consensus, reciprocal or homogeneity properties are investigated and all functions satisfying them are determined.
