Abstract
In engineering and decision sciences, trapezoidal-valued neutrosophic fuzzy numbers have become effective tools for managing imprecision and uncertainty in multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems. This work introduces accumulation operators based on the Dombi t-norm and Dombi t-conorm specifically designed for . These operators enhance the flexibility, consistency, and fairness of the aggregation process. To demonstrate their practical applicability, we propose three novel geometric aggregation operator’s namely, the trapezoidal-valued neutrosophic fuzzy Dombi weighted geometric (), the trapezoidal-valued neutrosophic fuzzy Dombi ordered weighted geometric (), and the trapezoidal-valued neutrosophic fuzzy Dombi hybrid Geometric () operators. These are incorporated into a systematic MAGDM framework to support the selection of optimal locations for charging stations. Comparative analysis with current decision-making methodologies highlights the efficacy and benefits of the suggested method. The suggested method provides a flexible and mathematically based choice framework designed for uncertain condition.
1. Introduction
Zadeh [1] first introduced the concept of fuzzy sets and Atanassov [2] developed the concept of an intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), where the sum of any element’s degree of membership or non-membership is less than or equal to one. The concept of neutrosophic sets was introduced and expanded by Smarandache [3], allowing simultaneous representation of the degree of truth, indeterminacy, and falsity membership. As expansions of linguistic and intuitionistic linguistic ideas, Ye [4] extended this to propose single-valued neutrosophic linguistic numbers (SVNLN) and sets (SVNLS). Chi and Liu [5] extended the traditional TOPSIS method to interval neutrosophic sets (INS) in order to handle ambiguous, conflicting, and incomplete information in multi-attribute decision-making (MADM). Since conventional TOPSIS depends on precise numerical inputs, their approach allowed for INS-valued attributes with unknown weights. They introduced a distance measure, outlined INS-based procedures, and applied the maximizing deviation method to calculate attribute weights. The efficiency of this extended TOPSIS model was validated through comparative experiments. Ali et al. [6] suggest innovative Hausdorff distance metrics for SVNSs and applies them to MCDM. This approach efficiently ranks options, proving its usefulness in actual issues.
1.1. Review of the Literature
Dombi [7] introduced the and operations and discussed several of their mathematical properties. In order to solve real-world issues, Liu et al. [8] built the multi-attribute group decision-making algorithm and applied Dombi operations on IFSs. Dombi weighted operators for accumulation in single-valued neutrosophic information were introduced by Chen and Ye [9] and used in multi-criteria decision-making (MADM) procedure. In [10], Seikh and Mandal described and used IF Dombi accumulation operations for decisions involving several attributes. The work extends the Dombi operations to neutrosophic cubic sets and suggests a neutrosophic cubic Dombi weighted arithmetic average operator and a neutrosophic cubic Dombi weighted geometric average operator. Shi and Ye discussed how to solve decision-making problems with flexible operational parameters under neutrosophic cubic environments in [11]. The EDAS approach was generalized by fuzzy sets with interval value q-rung orthopair environment by Shao and Zhuo [12], who also investigated its suitability for evaluating the disposal of biological waste. Deveci et al. [13] assessed the integration of different fluidity measurement methods using the fuzzy Dombi EDAS model. and procedures of the image fuzzy set environment were introduced by Jana et al. [14]. Additionally, established geometric/arithmetic accumulation procedures for picture fuzzy Dombi. Kumar and Pamucar [15] provided a thorough and organized analysis of MADM approaches for decision-making challenges spanning the years 2004–2024. Asif et al. [16] applied Hamacher accumulation procedures to multi-attribute decision-making issues in the Pythagorean fuzzy set. Similar to this, Ali et al. [17] also examined a method for resolving multi-attribute decision-making issues that relies on Aczel–Alsina operational laws and intuitionistic fuzzy soft information. In multi-criteria group decision-making. Novel idea for an interval-valued Fermatean fuzzy Aczel–Alsina geometric accumulation operator by Meher and Jeevaraj [18]. Sahoo et al. [19] examine a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) applications to address energy management concerns from 2010 to 2025, which is one of the main categories of today’s global issues. In this piece, It served as the driving force for our primary application in solar site selection. The Aczel–Alsina spherical fuzzy accumulation operator-based multi-criteria group decision-making and its use in assessing solar energy cells have been covered by Naeem and Ali [20]. Some operational rules were discussed by Khatter [21] based on the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy number, interval-valued trapezoidal neutrosophic set, score, and accuracy functions used in the proposed work are all based on this combination. Nayagam et al. [22] presented a novel approach to considering trapezoidal-valued intuitionistic numbers based on the idea of an enhanced value index and a modified uncertainty index. To further demonstrate the usefulness of the suggested approach, an improved algorithm for resolving MADM problems is developed. In Meher et al. [23] presented the use of Dombi weighted geometric aggregation operators in MAGDM for the class of trapezoidal-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. In order to address the drawbacks of some of the current ranking techniques, Bihari et al. in [24] propose a new ranking principle based on the mean score and diagonal distance score function. They also show how effectively the proposed model functions as a tool for choosing suppliers for an MCDM in an environment that is uncertain.
This study contributes to the field of MAGDM by introducing a novel family of aggregation operators based on and for TzVNFNs. Three operators are developed namely TzVNFDWG, TzVNFDOWG, and TzVNFDHG operators. These operators overcome the drawbacks of current aggregation techniques by introducing a dynamic parameterized structure that accommodates hybrid weighting procedures, increases ranking stability, and improves adaptation to uncertainty. Additionally, a comprehensive framework for decision-making is developed, which includes accuracy and score functions for TzVNFNs. The efficiency and resilience of the suggested method in real-world applications, such charging station location selection, are shown by comparative analysis and sensitivity evaluation. The and functions are particularly appealing among other fuzzy aggregation operators because of their parameter-controlled and flexible nature. They are appropriate for complicated and uncertain decision contexts because of their flexibility, which enables them to resemble a broad variety of aggregation behaviors, from rigorous intersection to more flexible union procedures. The lack of this adjustable characteristic in conventional aggregation operators, like the algebraic product, Hamacher operators, may restrict their flexibility. The Dombi operator’s capacity to precisely control the impact of input values makes it an appealing option for multi-attribute group decision-making issues, especially when considering the uncertainty reflected by TzVNFN.
1.2. Motivation of the Study
In many real-world situations, where decision inputs are frequently ambiguous, contradictory, or imprecise, such as facility planning, technology selection, and policy analysis, MAGDM is essential. By capturing truth, indeterminacy, and falsity, TzVNFNs offer a powerful modeling tool to capture such uncertainty. The adjustable control parameters of and procedures, on the other hand, enable the aggregation behavior to be tailored to different decision-maker preferences. By combining Dombi operations with TzVNFNs, it is possible to create aggregation processes that are more flexible, expressive, and realistic in uncertain decision-making situations.
1.3. Research Gap
Few studies have combined TzVNFNs with Dombi operations to create effective aggregation models for MAGDM issues, despite the fact that both have been examined separately in the literature. Existing methods are unable to adjust various decision-making behaviors without parameter adjustments due to their frequent reliance on inflexible geometric or arithmetic operators. Furthermore, little research has been conducted on hybrid or ordered aggregation techniques that may successfully manage the intricacy of group decision-making as well as the structure of trapezoidal neutrosophic data. In order to improve flexibility, ranking performance, and resilience in MAGDM applications, new Dombi-based aggregation operators adapted for TzVNFNs are required.
1.4. Significance of the Research
- Based on and , we develop new operations of TzVNFNs and the proposed operators preserve algebraic symmetry through commutative property.
- We propose three accumulation procedures: TzVNFDWG, TzVNFDOWG, and TzVNFDHG of TzVNFN class.
- Using the suggested operators, we propose a trapezoidal-valued neutrosophic fuzzy MAGDM (TzVNFMAGDM) algorithm.
- Lastly, a comparison study is carried out by evaluating the results of numerical examples with those of other methods that are currently in use.

5. A Trapezoidal-Valued Neutrosophic Multi-Attribute Group Decision-Making Method
This particular area elaborates a trapezoidal-valued neutrosophic multi-attribute decision-making algorithm through a step-by-step procedure. Let us look at the MAGDM problem, where and are the alternatives and and are the attributes. Let and be experts with the weights and , respectively, where and . Decision-makers’ assessments of the alternatives’ performance are used to create the decision matrix based on the various criteria. Below are the different stages needed to solve a problem with the suggested approach and also given through Figure 1.

5.1. Problem Description
At present, the demand for charging stations has increased because of the rapid growth in the usage of battery electric vehicles (). There is complexity that occurs in selecting the site due to conflicting criteria like traffic density, power supply resources, land availability, and so on. Let us look at a group decision-making task with five sites (alternatives). and for charging station site selection. Three experts form the panel evaluates these sites. and under the four important conflicting criteria (attribute) namely (land availability), (proximity to power grid), (environmental sensitivity) and (installation cost). The three experts’ weight vector are , and the criterion weight vector be and . The choice matrix will first be provided by the experts using linguistic concepts. The decision matrix is then created by converting the linguistic decision matrix in Table 2 into a trapezoidal-valued neutrosophic number. Now, solve the example that we have been considering in order to demonstrate how the proposed algorithm can be applied.

Decision matrix of linguistic attributes.
5.2. Solving the Proposed Trapezoidal-Valued Neutrosophic Multi-Attribute Group Decision-Making Algorithm
First, we use the proposed trapezoidal-valued neutrosophic multi-attribute group decision-making method.
- Step 1:
- Data Collection: A panel of three experts is considered, which assesses the performance of five alternatives based on eight attributes. Data from the panel is gathered using the seven-point linguistic scale displayed in Table 3. as indicated in Table 2. It displays the information gathered from the decision-makers. The linguistic words derived from the panel’s data are then transformed into with the help of Table 3. For instance, upon gathering the information from every expert, we acquired the linguistic term for alternative 1 concerning criterion 1 for expert 1 as , which is also displayed in Table 2. Therefore, this linguistic term is substituted with the Table 3 provides definitions for terms.
Table 3. Linguistic variables of s. - Step 2:
- Normalization: Since every criterion in this particular instance is benefit type, no normalizing procedure is required.
- Step 3:
- (a) Accumulated Decision Matrix: The accumulated decision matrix is derived in this step by utilizing Equation (2). This stage yields an accumulated choice matrix, which Table 3 displays. As an example, see Table 2. We establish criterion 1 and combine the value for alternative 1 in relation to the provided values from every specialist. In other words, employing Formula (4) , we obtain Table 4’s first row and first column entry as . In a similar manner, we can compute every other entry in Table 4.
Table 4. Accumulated decision matrix from operator. - Step 3:
- (b) Accumulated performance of Alternatives: To obtain the accumulated performance of each alternative with regard to the four criteria, as shown in Table 5, apply Equation (2) to each row in Table 4. For instance, we accumulate the value of each criterion with respect to Table 5 in order to produce the first option ., that is, , , , using Equation (2). The weights of each criterion that we took into account while determining the overall performance of the options are listed below: and .
Table 5. Score value of alternatives final aggregated value. - Step 4:
- Score Values: The second column of Table 5 shows the total efficiency of the four options with respect to the four criteria. We may obtain the score value for each option by applying the ranking principle and scoring function to each entry in the second column, as indicated in Table 5’s third column. The final scores for the four choices are as follows:
- Step 5:
- Alternatives ranking: We rank the options as follows using the score values that were supplied in Step 4. Below is the final ranking of the choices,
5.3. Comparative Analysis
Example 4.
Let us look at a MAGDM issue with three criteria and and three alternatives and in Table 6.
Table 6.
Decision matrix.
The weights of the three criteria, , and will now be assumed to be 0.20, 0.30, and 0.50, respectively. Here, we evaluate our MAGDM approach against a various method; the outcome is displayed in Table 7 below.
Table 7.
Comparative Analysis.
The suggested TzVNFDWG, TzVNFDOWG, and TzVNFDHG operators generate consistent and unique ranks across the assessed alternatives, according to the comparison results. The Dombi-based operators exhibit more sensitivity control through the parameter, in contrast to traditional aggregation techniques, enabling better modeling of decision-maker preference uncertainty. Additionally, the simultaneous capture of truth, falsehood, and indeterminacy is made possible by the use of TzVNFN, which produces more realistic and nuanced choice results and graphical representation given in Figure 2.
Figure 2.
Graphical representation of score value of alternatives final aggregated value.
5.4. Sensitive Analysis
The robustness of the proposed approach under variations in key parameters was investigated through a sensitivity analysis. In particular, we examined the impact of altering controlling variables such as the Dombi parameter and weight allocations on the final ranking of alternatives. The objective was to determine whether small variations in input values result in significant changes in the outcome of decision-making. The results indicate that the proposed method exhibits a high level of stability. The rankings of alternatives remained largely consistent across a wide range of parameter changes, suggesting that the method is not overly sensitive to minor input fluctuations. This stability is crucial for real-world decision-making applications, where input data may be uncertain or imprecise. Overall, the research demonstrates that the suggested method is dependable and strong, which makes it appropriate for multi-criteria group decision-making issues in the actual world where parameter uncertainty is frequently unavoidable.
5.5. Advantages of the Suggested MAGDM Strategy
In this section, we outline a few benefits of our suggested MAGDM approach, which are as follows.
- To begin, the entire ordering principle on TzVNFNs is used in our suggested MAGDM technique, which is a broad category encompassing TNFNs, NFNs, and IVNFNs. Thus, real-valued NFNs, IVNFNs, and TNFNs are among the issues that can be solved using the algorithm suggested in the subclass context.
- Second, our suggested approach can always rank the two distinct TzVNFNs since the MAGDM algorithm incorporates the entire ordering principle. In other words, two distinct options (different performances according to separate criteria) will never be ranked as equal by the suggested MAGDM technique.
- Thirdly, by adjusting the Dombi variable, the and oriented aggregating operator provides the benefit of making the aggregating procedure simpler. Flexibility may be achieved by altering the Dombi operator variable. Because of its adjustable parameters, it is adaptable to other t norms and t-conorms that are currently in use. We may modify the norm used for accumulation by changing the variable’s Dombi accumulation operator value, which also changes the parameter’s operational behavior. The primary benefit of this technique is that the evaluation takes into account the imprecision and ambiguity present in the real-time data.
6. Conclusions
For TzVNFNs, this paper presents a decision-making framework based on three Dombi-based accumulation operators namely TzVNFDWG, TzVNFDOWG, and TzVNFDHG. These operators enhance aggregation flexibility and satisfy essential mathematical properties through adjustable parameters. When applied to the selection of EV charging stations, the proposed TzVNFMAGDM model demonstrated improved performance under uncertain conditions. The integration of Dombi operators with neutrosophic modeling provides a more refined approach to handling ambiguity and expert hesitation in multi-attribute group decision-making.
Limitations and Future Scope
For TzVNFN, the suggested Dombi-based aggregation framework exhibits excellent flexibility, enhanced decision-making accuracy, and efficient uncertainty management through parameterized operations. But like many parameter-dependent models, its effectiveness depends on the Dombi control parameter selection, and domain-specific adjustment could be necessary to obtain the best results. Future studies may incorporate methods for managing conflicting expert opinions and extend the framework to dynamic decision-making environments. The model may also be extended to various fuzzy extensions, including q-rung ortho pair fuzzy environments and interval-valued neutrosophic sets.
