Abstract

The paper shows how a specific notion of consistency based on a definition of interactions of decision goals is linked with the notion of separability. Subsets of deci-sion alternatives for which additive aggregation as deci-sion making concept is allowed are systematically iden-tified. These subsets contain alternatives compatible with their preferences and are explicitly calculated in polynomial time. Linear preference information given separately for every single goal turns out to be suffi-cient in order to describe the input preferences. Despite of this linearity heuristics serving for the resolution of multidimensional decision and optimization problems with interacting goals can be formulated.
