Abstract

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the most popular method in multi-criteria decision making and it has been extended by various extensions of fuzzy sets. The method uses linguistic terms for expert judgements and these judgements are represented by crisp or fuzzy numbers in different methods. Although there are various extension of AHP, such as Type-2 Fuzzy AHP, Hesitant Fuzzy AHP, Intuitionistic fuzzy AHP, Spherical fuzzy AHP, there are no studies on the comparison of the methods. In this study, we try to compare five classical AHP and one Fuzzy AHP (Bukley’s AHP) for 3 × 3 and 4 × 4 matrices. To this end, all possible matrices are created and solved. In order to make a comparison the ranking result and weight results are used. The results show that the difference between the methods increase as the matrix size increase. It is also observed that, the methods provide similar results for consistent matrices.
