Abstract: An axiomatic approach to solve the problem of narrowing the Pareto set based on some numerical
information regarding preferences of the decision maker is considered. This approach has been developed by the
author since 1983. It requires the acceptance of certain four axioms of "reasonable" behavior of the Decision
Maker during the decision making process. It is assumed that in addition to the axioms some information
regarding the Decision Maker’s preferences (the so-called "quanta" of information) is known. Using this
information it is possible to reduce the Pareto set and thereby facilitate subsequent selection of solutions. We
analyze a class of multicriteria choice problems for which this approach can be applied, as well as discuss of
possible directions for its generalization.
