Abstract

The paper shows that the equality of the interval-valued weighted average based on interval weights and the convex sum based on normalized interval weights presented in Dubois [The role of fuzzy sets in decision sciences: old techniques and new directions, Fuzzy Sets Syst. 184 (2011) 3-28] is generally false for n=3 and discusses its consequences.
