A note on ‘‘Applying fuzzy linguistic preference relations to the improvement of consistency of fuzzy AHP”

Wang and Chen (2008) stated and proved some results (Proposition 5.1, Proposition 5.2, Information Sciences, 178 (2008), 3759) and used these results to propose a method to construct fuzzy linguistic preference relation matrices. In this paper, it is pointed out that Wang and Chen have used some mathematical incorrect assumptions for proving these results. Hence, the statement and proof of these results as well as the method, proposed by Wang and Chen, are not valid. Further, the exact results are stated and proved.
