Preference and multicriteria decision making
In pliant concept and so (1) and (2) are
the same. Most cases in the framework of multicriteria
decision (3) are used. We can approximate (3) using
Rolle theorem: i.e.
Substituting it into (1)
where
i.e. the preference depends on y and x .

Distending function instead of membership function
Let choose an often used one the term “old”. The same
example exist in Zadeh’s seminal paper . We suppose
now that the term “old” depends only on age, and we
do not care that most polar terms are always context
dependant i.e. old professor is defined in an other
domain than old student. In classical logic we have to
fix a dividing line, in our case let it be 63 years (a=63).
If somebody is older than 63 years then he/she
belongs to the class (set) of old people, otherwise does
not.

Distending function instead of membership function
We can write this in an inequality form, using a
characteristic function:
The expression a<x is equivalent with the expression
0 < x-a , so the above form could be written as:
xaif

Generaly, on the left side of the inequality could beany g(x) function.
In the pliant concept we introduce the distending
function. We will use the notation

General form of the distending function
Let start with the aggregation concept. The weighted
aggregation operator is:
where xi are the distending values and f is
the generator function of the logical operator.
Intuitively aggregation is a weighted average of the
values,
