Abstract

Abstract One-criterion decision making under uncertainty (1-DM/U) is related to situations in which the decision maker (DM) evaluates the alternatives on the basis of one objective, but e.g. due to numerous uncertain future factors some parameters of the problem are not deterministic. Instead of entirely known paramaters, a set of possible scenarios is available. Multi-criteria decision making under certainty (M-DM/C) concerns cases where the DM assesses particular options in terms of many objectives. The parameters are known. Therefore, scenario planning is redundant. Both issues are investigated by many researchers and practitioners, since real economic decision problems are usually at least uncertain or multi-objective. In the paper, numerous analogies between 1-DM/U and M-DM/C are revealed. Some of them have existed for many decades, but others, so far, have not been developed. A careful examination of all the similarities enables an improvement of existing methods and a formulation of new algorithms for 1-DM/U and M-DM/C. The article presents six pairs of similar procedures and contains the description of three novel approaches created by analogy to existing ones.

不确定条件下的单准则决策与确定条件下的多准则决策的类比

不确定条件下的单准则决策(one -criterion decision making under uncertainty, 1-DM/U)是指决策者在一个目标的基础上对备选方案进行评估，但由于未来的诸多不确定因素，问题的某些参数是不确定的。不是完全已知的参数，而是一组可能的场景。确定性下的多标准决策(M-DM/C)涉及决策管理根据许多目标评估特定选项的情况。参数是已知的。因此，场景规划是多余的。这两个问题都被许多研究人员和实践者调查，因为实际的经济决策问题通常至少是不确定的或多目标的。本文揭示了1-DM/U和M-DM/C之间的许多类比。其中一些已经存在了几十年，但其他的，到目前为止，还没有开发。仔细检查所有相似之处，可以改进现有方法，并制定1-DM/U和M-DM/C的新算法。本文介绍了六对类似的程序，并描述了通过类比现有方法创建的三种新方法。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
