Groups in which normality is a weakly transitive relation

We study groups in which normality is a weakly transitive relation, giving an extension of in Theorem A [On finite T-groups, J. Aust. Math. Soc. 75 (2003) 181–191] due to Ballester-Bolinches and Esteban-Romero pointing out the relations between these groups and those in which all subgroups are almost pronormal. Moreover, we extend a well-known theorem of Peng [Finite groups with pro-normal subgroups, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 20 (1969) 232–234] proving that for a large class of generalized FC-groups the weak transitivity of normality is equivalent to having finitely many maximal pronormalizers of subgroups.

ON ADDITIVE CONSISTENT PROPERTIES OF THE INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY PREFERENCE RELATION

We investigate the properties of additive consistent intuitionistic fuzzy preference relations (IFPR). Usually, consistency in fuzzy preference relations (FPR) is associated with transitivity such as general transitivity, weak transitivity, and restricted max–max transitivity. This paper extends the consistency properties of the FPR to those of the IFPR. Since weak transitivity is the minimal logical requirement and a fundamental principle of human judgment, this paper develops three determination theorems and the corresponding algorithms to judge the weak transitivity of an IFPR from different angles. Two numerical examples show that the three methods proposed are feasible and effective.
