In this paper, inconsistency of pair-wise comparison matrix with fuzzy elements is
investigated. Inconsistency is based on the distance of the matrix to a special matrix
measured by a particular metric. New inconsistency index of reciprocal matrix with fuzzy
elements is introduced and newly designed method of logarithmic least squares for eliciting
associated weights is applied. Some basic properties of the index are derived, simple
illustrating examples and results of numerical simulation for comparing the new index with …
