Utilizing New Temporal Complex Neutrosophic Aczel-Alsina Aggregation Operators for Multi-Criteria Decision Making: An Application to Tourist Destination Selection

Abstract

The Temporal Complex Neutrosophic Set (TCNS) is a powerful extension of the 
Neutrosophic theory, and TCNS has added advantage to represents uncertain, indeterminate, 
inconsistent and time related factors. In the literature TCNS has been used for multi-criteria 
decision-making problems, especially in the time-aware systems. In order to tackle effectively 
decision-making problems in the TCNS environment effectively, it is crucial to make suite 
aggregation operators that enable decision makers to process preferences in a nuanced manner. In 
this paper, we introduce novel TCNS aggregation operators based on Aczel and Alsina t-norm and 
t-conorm using Aczel-Alsina operations, and we propose a multi-criteria decision-making model 
that utilizes those operators for TCNS-based multi criteria decision making problems (MCDMs). 
Theorytically, the soundness and completeness of new aggregation operators are proved, and to 
demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of our model a real world case study for tourist 
destination selection in Vietnam is completed along with analysis. The result proved the application 
potential of the proposal to solve the time-related MCDMs in practical, such as creating a MCDM 
model for tourist destination selection.
