This book examines relationships between pairwise comparisons matrices. It first provides an overview of the latest theories of pairwise comparisons in decision making, discussing the pairwise comparison matrix, a fundamental tool for further investigation, as a deterministic matrix with given...

The success of metaheuristics on hard single-objective optimization problems is well recognized today. Many real-life problems require, however, taking into account several conflicting points of view corresponding to multiple objectives. The use of metaheuristic optimization techniques for...
