Abstract.

A graph structure is a useful tool in solving the combinatorial problems in different areas of computer science and computational intelligence systems. In this paper, we apply the concept of bipolar fuzzy sets to graph structures. We introduce certain notions, including bipolar fuzzy graph structure (BFGS), strong bipolar fuzzy graph structure, bipolar fuzzy -cycle, bipolar fuzzy -tree, bipolar fuzzy -cut vertex, and bipolar fuzzy -bridge, and illustrate these notions by several examples. We study -complement, self-complement, strong self-complement, and totally strong self-complement in bipolar fuzzy graph structures, and we investigate some of their interesting properties.

1. Introduction

Concepts of graph theory have applications in many areas of computer science including data mining, image segmentation, clustering, image capturing, and networking. A graph structure, introduced by Sampathkumar [], is a generalization of undirected graph which is quite useful in studying some structures including graphs, signed graphs, and graphs in which every edge is labeled or colored. A graph structure helps to study the various relations and the corresponding edges simultaneously.

A fuzzy set, introduced by Zadeh [] initiated the concept of a bipolar fuzzy set as a generalization of a fuzzy set. A bipolar fuzzy set is an extension of fuzzy set whose membership degree range is . In a bipolar fuzzy set, the membership degree of an element means that the element is irrelevant to the corresponding property, the membership degree of an element indicates that the element somewhat satisfies the property, and the membership degree of an element indicates that the element somewhat satisfies the implicit counterproperty. Kauffman defined in [] have introduced bipolar fuzzy graphs, regular bipolar fuzzy graphs, irregular bipolar fuzzy graphs, antipodal bipolar fuzzy graphs, and bipolar fuzzy hypergraphs. In this paper, we introduce the certain notions including bipolar fuzzy graph structure (BFGS), strong bipolar fuzzy graph structure, bipolar fuzzy -cycle, bipolar fuzzy -tree, bipolar fuzzy -cut vertex, and bipolar fuzzy -bridge and illustrate these notions by several examples. We present -complement, self-complement, strong self-complement, and totally strong self-complement in bipolar fuzzy graph structures, and we investigate some of their interesting properties.

We have used standard definitions and terminologies in this paper. For other notations, terminologies, and applications not mentioned in the paper, the readers are referred to [].

2. Preliminaries

In this section, we review some definitions that are necessary for this paper.

A graph structure consists of a nonempty set together with relations on , which are mutually disjoint such that each is irreflexive and symmetric. If for some , we call it an -edge and write it as . A graph structure is complete, if (i) each edge , appears at least once in ; (ii) between each pair of vertices in , is an -edge for some A graph structure is connected, if the underlying graph is connected. In a graph structure, -path between two vertices and , is the path which consists of only -edges for some , and similarly, -cycle is the cycle which consists of only -edges for some . A graph structure is a tree if it is connected and contains no cycle or equivalently the underlying graph is a tree. is an -tree, if the subgraph structure induced by -edges is a tree. Similarly, is an -tree, if is an -tree for each A graph structure is an -forest, if the subgraph structure induced by -edges is a forest, that is, if it has no -cycles. Let ; then the subgraph structure induced by has vertex set , where two vertices and in are joined by an -edge, , if and only if, they are joined by an -edge in . For some , the -subgraph induced by is denoted by - It has only those -edges of , joining vertices in . If is a subset of edge set in , then subgraph structure induced by has the vertex set, the end vertices in , whose edges are those in Let and be graph structures. Then and are isomorphic, if (i) , (ii) there exist a bijection and a bijection , say , , such that for all , implies that .

Two graph structures and , on the same vertex set , are identical, if there exists a bijection , such that for all and in is an -edge in , then is an -edge in , where and . Let be a permutation on . Then the -cyclic complement of , denoted by , is obtained by replacing by ), . Let be a graph structure and a permutation on ; then (i) is -self complementary, if is isomorphic to ; the -cyclic complement of and is self-complement, if identity permutation. (ii) is strong -self complementary, if is identical to ; the -complement of and is strong self-complement, if identity permutation.

Definition 9 (see []). is a -cycle if and only if is a -cycle.

Definition 13 (see []). Let be a nonempty set. A bipolar fuzzy set in is an object having the form where and are mappings.

We use the positive membership degree to denote the satisfaction degree of an element to the property corresponding to a bipolar fuzzy set and the negative membership degree to denote the satisfaction degree of an element to some implicit counterproperty corresponding to a bipolar fuzzy set . If and , it is the situation that is regarded as having only positive satisfaction for . If and , it is the situation that does not satisfy the property of but somewhat satisfies the counter property of . It is possible for an element to be such that and when the membership function of the property overlaps that of its counterproperty over some portion of .
