Abstract

A number of interactive methods that use convex cones for solving the discrete alternative multiple-criteria problem have appeared in the literature. Convex cones are used to identify inferior alternatives based on the previous responses of the decision-maker. The aim is to identify as many inferior alternatives as possible using the cones so that the decision-maker will be required to make as few pairwise comparisons as possible.
