Abstract

This paper provides a method for finding the complete set of feasible solutions to a problematic situation, whose structure is that of a network amenable to the analytical approach known as “analysis of interconnected decision areas”, or AIDA. In doing so, the paper not only resolves a long-standing computational problem, but also offers means for examining all solutions in either lists or diagrams, thus empowering decision-makers to make informed judgments as to how to tackle an entire problem or its subsets. The analytical advantage of using a signed graph in AIDA computations is demonstrated, proffering an innovative contribution to the approach. The paper concludes by identifying potentially fruitful avenues of future research as well as interdisciplinary opportunities.
