In Chapter 1 the author explains the most important aspects of the concept of relation. From this start arise the other three concepts that cover practically all processes from which decisions stem. These three concepts are: attribution from which the concept of assignment arises; and grouping, which includes the concept of an original function. The techniques presented, as well as the models and algorithms developed, constitute an invaluable aid for those who must make decisions. Audience: Researchers and graduate students interested in mathematics applied to economics and management.
