Abstract

In the paper aspect of comparability alternatives in decision making problem by imprecise or incomplete information is
examined. In particular, new definitions of transitivity based on the measure of the intensity preference between pairs
of alternatives in epistemic and ontic case is presented and its application to solve decision making problem is proposed.
