Produktbeschreibung
The book is a benefit for graduate and postgraduate students in the areas of operations research, decision theory, optimization theory, linear algebra, interval analysis and fuzzy sets. The book will also be useful for the researchers in the respective areas. The first part of the book deals with decision making problems and procedures that have been established to combine opinions about alternatives related to different points of view. Procedures based on pairwise comparisons are thoroughly investigated. In the second part we investigate optimization problems where objective functions and constraints are characterized by extremal operators such as maximum, minimum or various triangular norms (t-norms). Matrices in max-min algebra are useful in applications such as automata theory, design of switching circuits, logic of binary relations, medical diagnosis, Markov chains, social choice, models of organizations, information systems, political systems and clustering. The input data in real problems are usually not exact and can be characterized by interval values.

Rezensionen
"The main purpose of this monograph is to report on recent developments in the field of decision making and optimization, with a strong emphasis on useful techniques and ingenious ideas from matrix analysis and fuzzy set theory. ... a wide variety of examples and counterexamples are included in order to help the interested reader to clarify difficult parts of the book. The book can be read by researchers and at some points by advanced graduates or undergraduates." (Vasilios N. Katsikis, Mathematical Reviews, June, 2015)

"The authors present some special cases of matrices and discuss their various properties and applications. ... In each chapter some theory is presented and followed by description of solving methods and examples. The book is a valuable contribution, useful for both graduate students and researchers." (Marcin Anholcer, zbMATH 1317.90004, 2015)
