Towards a formalisation of the linguistic conditional preference networks

Abstract: In recent works, we have proposed a graphical model to represent linguistic preferences called LCP-nets. LCP-nets have been implemented and used in a specific use case of industrial engineering. In this paper, we consolidate this contribution in formalising it through a set of notations and computation rules in order to guarantee its durability and its reusability to other multi-criteria decision contexts. The paper formalises the LCP-net structure, semantics, and validity. It also formalises the dominance testing and optimisation queries (for a discretised version of the problem in this latter case), in the line of previous CP-nets models.

Keywords: fuzzy preferences; conditional preference networks; linguistic CP-nets; LCP-nets; multicriteria decision making; MCDM; dominance testing query; optimisation queries; industrial engineering; semantics. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
