Abstract:
In this paper, in the framework of the axiomatic approach, developed by the author over the past three decades, four axioms of “reasonable” choice, which outline a sufficiently broad class of multicriteria choice problems, are accepted. To narrow down the Pareto set is used some numerical information on the DM's preference relation. A method to reduce the Pareto set using an arbitrary consistent finite collection of such information is developed. The method is based on an algorithm that generates a new vector criterion with minimal number of components. The Pareto set with respect to new vector criterion gives the desired narrowing of the initial Pareto set.
Keywords:multicriteria choice, the Pareto set, the Pareto set reducing.
