Abstract

We propose two straightforward methods for deriving the priority vector associated with a reciprocal relation, by some authors called fuzzy preference relation. Then, using transformations between pairwise comparison matrices and reciprocal relations, we study the relationships between the priority vectors associated with these two types of preference relations. Eventually, we show a brief example involving the newly introduced characterizations.
