Bi-directional nearness in a network by AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and ANP (Analytic Network Process)
In this paper we study bi-directional nearness in a network based on AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and ANP (Analytic Network Process). Usually we use forward (one-dimensional) direction nearness based on Euclidean distance. Even if the nearest point to is point , the nearest point to is not necessarily point . Sowe propose the concept of bi-directional nearness defined by AHP'ssynthesizing of weights “for” direction and “from” direction. This concept of distance is a relative distance based...
