<abstract><p>In this research study, we first define the strong degree of a vertex in an $ m $-polar fuzzy graph. Then we present various useful properties and prove some results concerning this new concept, in the case of complete $ m $-polar fuzzy graphs. Further, we introduce the concept of $ m $-polar fuzzy strength sequence of vertices, and we also investigate it in the particular instance of complete $ m $-polar fuzzy graphs. We discuss connectivity parameters in $ m $-polar fuzzy graphs with precise examples, and we investigate the $ m $-polar fuzzy analogue of Whitney's theorem. Furthermore, we present a clustering method for vertices in an $ m $-polar fuzzy graph based on the strength of connectedness between pairs of vertices. In order to formulate this method, we introduce terminologies such as $ \epsilon_A $-reachable vertices in $ m $-polar fuzzy graphs, $ \epsilon_A $-connected $ m $-polar fuzzy graphs, or $ \epsilon_A $-connected $ m $-polar fuzzy subgraphs (in case the $ m $-polar fuzzy graph itself is not $ \epsilon_A $-connected). Moreover, we discuss an application for clustering different companies in consideration of their multi-polar uncertain information. We then provide an algorithm to clearly understand the clustering methodology that we use in our application. Finally, we present a comparative analysis of our research work with existing techniques to prove its applicability and effectiveness.</p></abstract>

<abstract><p>The aim of this research work is to put forward fuzzy models of granular computing based on fuzzy relation and fuzzy indiscernibility relation. Thanks to fuzzy information granulation to provide multi-level visualization of problems that include uncertain information. In such a granulation, fuzzy sets and fuzzy graphs help us to represent relationships among granules, groups or clusters. We consider the fuzzy indiscernibility relation of a fuzzy knowledge representation system ($ \mathcal{I} $). We describe the granular structures of $ \mathcal{I} $, including discernibility, core, reduct and essentiality of $ \mathcal{I} $. Then we examine the contribution of these structures to granular computing. Moreover, we introduce certain granular structures using fuzzy graph models and discuss degree based model of fuzzy granular structures. Granulation of network models based on fuzzy information effectively handles real life data which possesses uncertainty and vagueness. Finally, certain algorithms of proposed models are developed and implemented to solve real life problems involving uncertain granularities. We also present a concise comparison of the models developed in our work with other existing methodologies.</p></abstract>

A graph structure is a useful framework to solve the combinatorial problems in various fields of computational intelligence systems and computer science. In this research article, the concept of fuzzy sets is applied to the graph structure to define certain notions of fuzzy graph structures. Fuzzy graph structures can be very useful in the study of various structures, including fuzzy graphs, signed graphs, and the graphs having labeled or colored edges. The notions of the fuzzy graph structure, lexicographic-max product, and degree and total degree of a vertex in the lexicographic-max product are introduced. Further, the proposed concepts are explained through several numerical examples. In particular, applications of the fuzzy graph structures in decision-making process, regarding detection of marine crimes and detection of the road crimes, are presented. Finally, the general procedure of these applications is described by an algorithm.


Data Mining is the process of extracting useful information. Data Mining is about finding new information from pre-existing databases. It is the procedure of mining facts from data and deals with the kind of patterns that can be mined. Therefore, this proposed work is to detect and categorize the illness of people who are affected by Dengue through Data Mining techniques mainly as the Clustering method. Clustering is the method of finding related groups of data in a dataset and used to split the related data into a group of sub-classes. So, in this research work clustering method is used to categorize the age group of people those who are affected by mosquito-borne viral infection using K-Means and Hierarchical Clustering algorithm and Kohonen-SOM algorithm has been implemented in Tanagra tool. The scientists use the data mining algorithm for preventing and defending different diseases like Dengue disease. This paper helps to apply the algorithm for clustering of Dengue fever in Tanagra tool to detect the best results from those algorithms.

Graphs play a pivotal role in structuring real-world scenarios such as network security and expert systems. Numerous extensions of graph theoretical conceptions have been established for modeling uncertainty in graphical network situations. The Pythagorean Dombi fuzzy graph (PDFG), a generalization of the fuzzy Dombi graph (FDG), is very useful in representing vague relations between several objects, whereas the operational parameter has a flexible nature in decision-making problems. The main objective of this research study is to expand the area of discussion on PDFGs by establishing fruitful results and notions related to operations such as the direct product, Cartesian product, semi-strong product, strong product, and composition on PDFGs. Certain concepts, including the degree of vertices and total degree, are discussed as its modifications. Meanwhile, these outcomes are considered on PDFGs maintaining the strongness property. At the end, an algorithm for Pythagorean Dombi fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making is given, and a numerical example based on the selection of a leading textile industry is put forward to clarify the suitability of the proposed approach.

The q-rung orthopair fuzzy graph is an extension of intuitionistic fuzzy graph and Pythagorean fuzzy graph. In this paper, the degree and total degree of a vertex in q-rung orthopair fuzzy graphs are firstly defined. Then, some product operations on q-rung orthopair fuzzy graphs, including direct product, Cartesian product, semi-strong product, strong product, and lexicographic product, are defined. Furthermore, some theorems about the degree and total degree under these product operations are put forward and elaborated with several examples. In particular, these theorems improve the similar results in single-valued neutrosophic graphs and Pythagorean fuzzy graphs.

The main objective of this research article is to classify different types of m-polar fuzzy edges in an m-polar fuzzy graph by using the strength of connectedness between pairs of vertices. The identification of types of m-polar fuzzy edges, including α-strong m-polar fuzzy edges, β-strong m-polar fuzzy edges and δ-weak m-polar fuzzy edges proved to be very useful to completely determine the basic structure of m-polar fuzzy graph. We analyze types of m-polar fuzzy edges in strongest m-polar fuzzy path and m-polar fuzzy cycle. Further, we define various terms, including m-polar fuzzy cut-vertex, m-polar fuzzy bridge, strength reducing set of vertices and strength reducing set of edges. We highlight the difference between edge disjoint m-polar fuzzy path and internally disjoint m-polar fuzzy path from one vertex to another vertex in an m-polar fuzzy graph. We define strong size of an m-polar fuzzy graph. We then present the most celebrated result due to Karl Menger for m-polar fuzzy graphs and illustrate the vertex version of Menger’s theorem to find out the strongest m-polar fuzzy paths between affected and non-affected cities of a country due to an earthquake. Moreover, we discuss an application of types of m-polar fuzzy edges to determine traffic-accidental zones in a road network. Finally, a comparative analysis of our research work with existing techniques is presented to prove its applicability and effectiveness.

We generalize the definition of a fuzzy graph by replacing minimum in the basic definitions with an arbitrary [Formula: see text]-norm. The reason for this is that some applications are better modeled with a [Formula: see text]-norm other than minimum. We develop a measure on the susceptibility of trafficking in persons for networks by using a [Formula: see text]-norm other than minimum. We also develop a connectivity index for a fuzzy network. In one application, a high connectivity index means a high susceptibility to trafficking. In the other application, we use a method called the eccentricity of an origin country to determine the susceptibility of a network to trafficking in persons. The models rest on the vulnerabilities and the government responses of countries to trafficking.


In this paper, some properties of complete degree and complete regular fuzzy graphs are discussed. They are illustrated through various examples. It is proved that every fuzzy graph is an induced subgraph of a complete regular fuzzy graph. The procedure described in the proof is illustrated through an example. Also the complete degree of a vertex in fuzzy graphsformed by the operation Union in terms of the complete degree of vertices in the given fuzzy graphs for some particular cases are obtained. Using them, their complete regular property is studied.
