A comparison of dominant AHP/CCM and AHP/ANP

Abstract

The Theory of Games is a conflict descriptive type model designed to minimize one's loss. AHP, on the other hand, is a conflict solving type model and offers a method to describe which element in the conflict is more critical. This paper analyze the comparison of Dominant AHP/CCM (Concurrent Convergence Method), proposed by Kinoshita and Nakanishi, with AHP/ANP, proposed by Saaty and present the calculation methods and the mathematical structure of the former in the process. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010.
