TITLE

Comparison Standards and New Areas of their Use in Decision Making

ABSTRACT

Proposed are two decision-making technologies based on the use of comparison standards: one for optimal strategies in cooperative n-person games determination, the other – for summarizing the results of voting. The first one is an alternative to the use of guaranteeing strategies whereas the second approach can be an alternative to the use of traditional technologies, selecting winner by relative or absolute majority. The main provisions of the proposed approach are illustrated by examples.

KEYWORDS

matrix of game, comparison standard, prize of game, distance in the coordinate system, guaranteeing strategies, voting processing
