Abstract

For the shortcomings of classic Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), we propose a new type of utility function based on utility theory to research the situation where the huge change of utility value could seriously influence and even invert the final evaluation result when one or more indexes value gradually approach or reach its ideal optimum. So this article proposes an idea of dealing with this kind of questions by combining AHP with the new utility function. The experiment shows the AHP with new utility function could comprehensively make evaluation, make up for the lack of AHP when evaluating alternatives with particularly prominent index value, and meet the diversified demands.
