In this paper, we will introduce and discuss the model and theory of the analytic network process, extending analytic hierarchy process to problems with dependence and feedback. Some typical supermatrices of feedback system and the limiting relative priorities of supermatrix will be analyzed and a simple and feasible algorithm for limiting relative priorities of a cycling system will be provided.
