Relations between coherence conditions and row orders in pairwise comparison matrices

Coherence of preferences has been a long standing issue in decision analysis. This paper focuses on preferences expressed by means of pairwise comparison matrices. In particular, by following the idea proposed in previous papers concerning the relation between some coherence conditions and row orders of the matrix, we provide similar relations for further coherence conditions that are the restricted max–max transitivity, the index exchange ability and the quasi-consistency
