Dear IJAHP Reader: 

This issue marks the beginning of our third year as a journal and we are glad to report our 
progress is solid and strong. The articles in this issue have a theoretical blend. Von 
Solms’s discussion of AHP/ANP validity opens the issue followed by articles dealing 
with the use of ANP in modeling problem situations, discussion of an AHP/ANP 
approach to stability measurement, a survey of methods to make transitive multiple 
comparison matrices, and an interpretation of AHP synthesis as the eigensolution of an 
ANP supermatrix. In addition, Dr. Saaty discusses, in our essay section, a common—but 
wrong—objection to the AHP method when measuring tangibles. We are also adding a 
News section in this issue for AHP-related news and events that may be of interest to our 
IJAHP readers. 

Enjoy the Issue!
