Abstract
This paper deals with the multi-criteria problem of choice with a numerical vector function defined on a set of feasible variants. It is assumed that the decision maker uses a fuzzy preference relation for the choice process. Information on the preference relation is considered to be known in the form of a finite collection of fuzzy quanta. We formulate an algorithm to reduce the Pareto set in the multicriteria choice problem using the set of quanta in order to facilitate the final choice. A numerical example illustrates the operation of the algorithm.
