From Preference Relations to Fuzzy Choice Functions

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 6717))

Abstract

This is a first approach to the study of the connection between fuzzy preference relations and fuzzy choice functions. In particular we depart from a fuzzy preference relation and we study the conditions it must satisfy in order to get a fuzzy choice function from it. We are particulary interested in one function: G-rationalization. We discuss the relevance of the completeness condition on the departing preference relation. We prove that not every non-complete fuzzy preference relation leads to a choice function.
