Abstract
The paper discusses an approach of the French school of decision makin g as represented by the ELECTRA methods. Its advantages, which are due to the introduction of the relation of incomparability of alternative s, are noted. The paper focuses on the problem of acyclicity of relati ons of alternatives. A condition has been obtained enabling one to gua rantee the acyclicity of relations between alternatives by introducing the bounds of variations of the concordance index. Numerical examples are presented.
