2. FUZZY GRAPH
A Fuzzy graph G(σ, µ)on G*(V,E) is a pair of functions σ : V → [0,1] and µ: V x V
→ [0,1] where for all u, v in V, we have µ(u,v) ≤ min {σ (u), σ (v) }.
σ(u)=0.1
σ(v)=0.2 σ(w)=0.3
µ(u,v)=0.1
µ(u,w)=0.1
µ(v,w)=0.2

3. The degree of any vertex 𝑢𝑖 of a fuzzy graph is sum of degree of
membership of all those edges which are incident on vertex 𝑢𝑖.And is
denoted by d (𝑢𝑖).
A fuzzy sub-graph H : (τ , υ) is called a fuzzy sub-graph of G=(σ,µ) if
τ(u) ≤σ(u) for all uєV. And υ( u, v)≤µ ( u ,v) all u ,v є V

4. A fuzzy sub-graph H : (τ , υ) is said to be a spanning fuzzy graph of G=(σ,µ) if τ(u) =σ(u)
for all u. In this case, two graphs have same vertex set, they differ only in the arc weights.
An edge E1 (x,y) of a fuzzy graph is called an effective edge if
µ (x,y) = min {σ (x), σ (y) }.
A fuzzy graph is called an effective fuzzy graph if every edge is an
effective edge.

5. The degree of any vertex 𝑢𝑖 of an effective fuzzy graph is sum of
degree of membership of all those edges which are incident on
vertex 𝑢𝑖.And is denoted by dE1(𝑢𝑖).
The minimum effective incident degree of a fuzzy graph G is ^ {
dE1 (v) / v ∈ V} . and it is denoted by δE1 (G).
The maximum effective incident degree of a fuzzy graph
G is v { dE1 (v) / v ∈ V} . and it is denoted by ∆E1(G)

6. The order of a effective fuzzy graph G is O(G)= 𝑢∈𝑉 𝜎(𝑢)
The size of a effective fuzzy graph G is S(G)= 𝑢𝑣∈𝐸1 𝜇(𝑢𝑣).
Let G=(𝜎, 𝜇) be a fuzzy graph on G*=(V,E).If dG(v)=k for all v∈V that
is if each vertex has same degree k, then G is said to be a regular
fuzzy graph of degree k or a k-degree fuzzy graph.

7. .
For any real number 𝛼,0< 𝛼 ≤ 1, a 𝛼 -path 𝜌 𝛼 in a fuzzy graph G =
(σ,µ) is a sequence of distinct vertices 𝑥0, 𝑥1, 𝑥2 … … … 𝑥 𝑛 such that
σ (𝑥𝑗)≥ 𝛼 , 0≤ 𝑗 ≤ 𝑛, and
µ(𝑥𝑖−1, 𝑥𝑖)≥ 𝛼, 0≤ 𝑖 ≤ 𝑛, here n≥ 0, is called the length of 𝜌 𝛼.In this
case we write 𝜌 𝛼=(𝑥0, 𝑥1, 𝑥2 … … … . . 𝑥 𝑛) and 𝜌 𝛼 is called a (𝑥0, 𝑥 𝑛) –
𝛼 path.

8. A path P is called effective path if each edge in a path P is an effective edge.
An effective path P is called an effective cycle if x0 = xn and n ≥ 3.
A fuzzy graph G = (σ , µ) is said to be effective connected if there exists an
effective path between every pair of vertices.
A fuzzy tree is an acyclic and connected fuzzy graph.

9. A fuzzy effective tree is an effective acyclic and effective
connected fuzzy graph.
The fuzzy effective tree T is said to be a fuzzy effective spanning
tree of a fuzzy effective connected graph G if T is an effective sub
graph of an effective fuzzy graph G and T contains all vertices of G.

10. Fuzzy Domination Number
The complement of a fuzzy graph G=(σ , μ) is a fuzzy graph
𝐺 =( 𝜎, 𝜇)where 𝜎=σ and 𝜇(u ,v )=σ(u) Λ σ(v)-μ(u ,v ) for all u ,v in
V.
The complement of a complement fuzzy graph 𝐺 = ( 𝜎, 𝜇) where 𝜎= 𝜎
and 𝜇(u,v)=𝜎(𝑢) Λ𝜎(𝑣)-𝜇(𝑢, 𝑣) for all u,v in V i.e
𝜇(u,v)= σ(u) Λ σ(v)-( σ(u) Λ σ(v)-μ(u ,v )) for all u,v in V then
𝐺 = G

25. Domination in Fuzzy Digraphs
A fuzzy digraph GD= (σD,μD) is a pair of function σD :V→[0,1] and
μD : V×V→[0,1] where μD(u,v)≤ σD (u) Λ σD (v) for u,v є V, σD a
fuzzy set of V,(V× 𝑉, μD ) a fuzzy relation on V and μD is a set of
fuzzy directed edges are called fuzzy arcs.
Let GD= (σD,μD) be a fuzzy digraph of V.IfσD(u)>0, for u in V, then
u is called a vertex of GD.IfσD(u) = 0 for u in V,then u is called an
empty vetex of GD.IfμD(u,v)=0, then (u,v) is called an empty arc of
GD.

26. Let 𝐺 𝐷1= (𝜎 𝐷1, 𝜇 𝐷1) and 𝐺 𝐷2= (𝜎 𝐷2, 𝜇 𝐷2) be two fuzzy
digraphs of V . Then𝐺 𝐷2= (𝜎 𝐷2, 𝜇 𝐷2) called a fuzzy sub-
digraph of 𝐺 𝐷1= (𝜎 𝐷1, 𝜇 𝐷1) if
𝜎 𝐷2(u) ≤ 𝜎 𝐷1(u)for all u in V and
𝜇 𝐷2(u,v) ≤ 𝜇 𝐷1(u,v) for all u,v in V, then we write
𝐺 𝐷2 ≤ 𝐺 𝐷1.

27. For any real number𝛼,0< 𝛼 ≤ 1,a fuzzy directed walk from a
vertex 𝜎 𝐷(𝑥𝑖) to 𝜎 𝐷(𝑥𝑗) is an alternating sequence of vertices
and edges, beginning with 𝜎 𝐷(𝑥𝑖) and ending with 𝜎 𝐷(𝑥𝑗) , such
that𝜎 𝐷(𝑥𝑗)≥ 𝛼 , 0≤ 𝑗 ≤ 𝑛, and
𝜇 𝐷(𝑥𝑖−1, 𝑥𝑖)≥ 𝛼, 0≤ 𝑖 ≤ 𝑛, here n≥ 0, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 each edge is oriented
from the vertex preceding it to the vertex following it. No edge in
a fuzzy directed walk appears more than once, but a vertex may
appears more than once, as in the case of fuzzy undirected graphs
.

28. For any real number 𝛼,0< 𝛼 ≤ 1, a directed 𝛼 -path 𝜌 𝛼 in a
fuzzy digraph 𝐺 𝐷 = (𝜎 𝐷, 𝜇 𝐷) is a sequence of distinct nodes
𝑥0, 𝑥1, 𝑥2 … … … 𝑥 𝑛 such that
𝜎 𝐷(𝑥𝑗)≥ 𝛼 , 0≤ 𝑗 ≤ 𝑛, and
𝜇 𝐷(𝑥𝑖−1, 𝑥𝑖)≥ 𝛼, 0≤ 𝑖 ≤ 𝑛, here n≥ 0, is called the length of
𝜌 𝛼.In this case ,we write 𝜌 𝛼=(𝑥0, 𝑥1, 𝑥2 … … … . . 𝑥 𝑛) and 𝜌 𝛼 is
called a (𝑥0, 𝑥 𝑛) –𝛼 path.

29. Two vertices in a fuzzy digraphs GD are said to be fuzzy independent
if there is no effective edges between them.
A subset S of Vis said to be fuzzy independent set of GD if every two
vertices of S are fuzzy independent.
