Weak and Strong Consistency of an Interval Comparison Matrix
Integrated Uncertainty in Knowledge Modelling and Decision Making
Abstract
We consider interval-valued pairwise comparison matrices and two types of consistency – weak (consistency for at least one realization) and strong (acceptable consistency for all realizations). Regarding weak consistency, we comment on the paper [...
On strong (weak) independent sets and vertex coverings of a graph

A vertex v in a graph G=(V,E) is strong (weak) if deg(v)>=deg(u)(deg(v)= =deg(u) in G. Then u weakly covers x. A set S@__ __V is a strong vertex cover [SVC] (weak vertex cover [WVC]) if every edge in G is strongly (weakly) covered by some vertex in S. ...
Weak vs. Self vs. Probabilistic Stabilization
ICDCS '08: Proceedings of the 2008 The 28th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems

Self-stabilization is a strong property which guarantees that a network always resume a correct behavior starting from an arbitrary initial state. Weaker guarantees have later been introduced to cope with impossibility results: probabilistic ...
