Reciprocal preference-aversion structures

This paper presents an interesting particular instance of the Preference-Aversion (P-A) model, which combines the rich expressive capability allowed by the bipolar approach of that model with the simplicity resulting from imposing additive reciprocity constraints on the basic, positive/negative standard fuzzy preference structures from which the P-A model is built. Thus, the proposed reciprocal P-A model is instead built from a pair of compatible reciprocal preference structures, respectively allowing to express preference/aversion as well as lack of preference/aversion. The conjunctive combination of those basic reciprocal structures and its subsequent refinement then leads to the complete reciprocal P-A structure, which offers a different and somehow wider spectrum of representable decisional notions than that of the standard fuzzy preference structures, and in which ambivalence, a conflicting equilibrium between alternatives, provides the most notable difference with respect to standard and reciprocal fuzzy preference structures.
