In a large fuzzy rule-based system, a great dealof computation time is required for a fuzzy inference engine. A given fuzzy rule-based system is modeled as a fuzzy inference graph where each node in the graph corresponds to a relation representing a rule in the rule-based system. This paper presents algorithms to minimize the number of nodes in the graph using fuzzy operations as well as their ...

The concept of the strongest path plays a crucial role in fuzzy graph theory. In classical graph theory, all paths in a graph are strongest, with a strength value of one. In this article, we introduce Menger’s theorem for fuzzy graphs and discuss the concepts of strengthreducing sets and t-connected fuzzy graphs. We also characterize t-connected and t-arc connected fuzzy graphs. 2012 Elsevier I...

In this paper we study strongest paths in a fuzzy graph. A necessary and sufficient condition for an arc in a fuzzy graph to be a strongest path and a sufficient condition for a path in a fuzzy graph to be a strongest path are obtained. A characterization of δ−arcs and the relationship between fuzzy cutnodes and δ−arcs are also obtained. Also a characterization of blocks is obtained using stron...

In the present paper, we study some properties of fuzzy norm of linear operators. At first the bounded inverse theorem on fuzzy normed linear spaces is investigated. Then, we prove Hahn Banach theorem, uniform boundedness theorem and closed graph theorem on fuzzy normed linear spaces. Finally the set of all compact operators on these spaces is studied.

All practical digital circuits are usually a mixture of combinational and sequential logic. Flip–flops are essential to sequential logic therefore fuzzy flip–flops are considered to be among the most essential topics of fuzzy digital circuit. The concept of fuzzy digital circuit is among the most interesting applications of fuzzy sets and logic due to the fact that if there has to be an ultimat...

In this paper, integrity of fuzzy graph is defined. Integrity of special types of graphs with constant node strength and node strength sequences as (pn−1 1 , p2) is discussed. Also, integrity of regular fuzzy graph and complete fuzzy graph is presented.

The fuzzy graph approach is more powerful in cluster analysis than the usual graph – theoretic approach due to its ability to handle the strengths of arcs effectively. The concept of node-strength sequence is introduced and is studied in a complete fuzzy graph. Two new connectivity parameters in fuzzy graphs namely, fuzzy node connectivity ðjÞ and fuzzy arc connectivity ðj0Þ are introduced and ...
