About this book
Reviews
“The main purpose of this monograph is to report on recent developments in the field of decision making and optimization, with a strong emphasis on useful techniques and ingenious ideas from matrix analysis and fuzzy set theory. … a wide variety of examples and counterexamples are included in order to help the interested reader to clarify difficult parts of the book. The book can be read by researchers and at some points by advanced graduates or undergraduates.” (Vasilios N. Katsikis, Mathematical Reviews, June, 2015)
“The authors present some special cases of matrices and discuss their various properties and applications. … In each chapter some theory is presented and followed by description of solving methods and examples. The book is a valuable contribution, useful for both graduate students and researchers.” (Marcin Anholcer, zbMATH 1317.90004, 2015)
