Abstract
An optimal flow of data is essential for interconnection networks in order to ensure effective communication within the network. Hence, it is important to consider fuzzy graph structures representing networks which minimizes disruption of the flow and consequent failure of the network. This article discusses - fuzzy graphs, a special category of fuzzy graphs having the properties mentioned above. Apart from a characterization for - fuzzy graphs, this paper discusses a new kind of transitivity, called - transitivity, using the generalized cycle connectivity between a pair of vertices within the structure. Generalized cycle connectivity of certain fuzzy graph structures like fuzzy blocks and line graphs is also obtained. An application of - fuzzy graphs in network theory is also proposed in the paper.
期刊介绍:
Since its launching in 1978, the journal Fuzzy Sets and Systems has been devoted to the international advancement of the theory and application of fuzzy sets and systems. The theory of fuzzy sets now encompasses a well organized corpus of basic notions including (and not restricted to) aggregation operations, a generalized theory of relations, specific measures of information content, a calculus of fuzzy numbers. Fuzzy sets are also the cornerstone of a non-additive uncertainty theory, namely possibility theory, and of a versatile tool for both linguistic and numerical modeling: fuzzy rule-based systems. Numerous works now combine fuzzy concepts with other scientific disciplines as well as modern technologies.
In mathematics fuzzy sets have triggered new research topics in connection with category theory, topology, algebra, analysis. Fuzzy sets are also part of a recent trend in the study of generalized measures and integrals, and are combined with statistical methods. Furthermore, fuzzy sets have strong logical underpinnings in the tradition of many-valued logics.
