1 Introduction

Fuzzy set is a newly emerging mathematical frameworkto exemplify the phenomenon of uncertainty in real lifetribulations It was introduced by Zadeh in 1965 and theconcepts were pioneered by various independent researchesnamely Rosenfeld [1] and Bhutani and Battou [2] during1970s Bhattacharya has established the connectivity conceptsbetween fuzzy cut nodes and fuzzy bridges entitled ldquoSomeremarks on fuzzy graphs [3]rdquo Several fuzzy analogs of graphtheoretic concepts such as paths cycles and connectednesswere explored by themThere are many problems which canbe solved with the help of the fuzzy graphs

Though it is very young it has been growing fast andhas numerous applications in various fields Further researchon fuzzy graphs has been witnessing an exponential growthboth within mathematics and in its applications in scienceand Technology A fuzzy graph is the generalization of thecrisp graph Therefore it is natural that many properties aresimilar to crisp graph and also it deviates at many places

In crisp graph a bijection 119891 119881 cup 119864 rarr 119873 thatassigns to each vertex andor edge if 119866 = (119881 119864) a uniquenatural number is called a labeling The concept of magiclabeling in crisp graph was motivated by the notion of magicsquares in number theory The notion of magic graph wasfirst introduced by Sunitha and Vijaya Kumar [4] in 1964 Hedefined a graph to be magic if it has an edge-labeling within

the range of real numbers such that the sum of the labelsaround any vertex equals some constant independent of thechoice of vertex This labeling has been studied by Stewart[5 6] who called the labeling as super magic if the labelsare consecutive integers starting from 1 Several others havestudied this labeling

Kotzig and Rosa [7] defined a magic labeling to bea total labeling in which the labels are the integers from1 to |119881(119866)| + |119864(119866)| The sum of labels on an edge andits two endpoints is constant Recently Enomoto et al [8]introduced the name super edge magic for magic labelingin the sense of Kotzig and Rosa with the added propertythat the V vertices receive the smaller labels Many otherresearchers have investigated different forms ofmagic graphsfor example see Avadayappan et al [9] Ngurah et al [10] andTrenkler [11]

In this paper Section 1 contains basic definitions and inSection 2 a new concept of fuzzy labeling and fuzzy magiclabeling has been introduced and also fuzzy star graph isdefined In Section 2 fuzzy magic labeling for some graphslike path cycle and star is defined In Section 3 someproperties and results with fuzzy bridge and fuzzy cut nodesare discussed The graphs which are considered in this paperare finite and connected

We have used standard definitions and terminologies inthis paper For graphs considered in this paper the readersare referred to [12ndash19]

11 Preliminaries Let 119880 and 119881 be two sets Then 120588 is said tobe a fuzzy relation from 119880 into 119881 if 120588 is a fuzzy set of 119880 times 119881A fuzzy graph 119866 = (120590 120583) is a pair of functions 120590 119881 rarr [0 1]and 120583 119881 times 119881 rarr [0 1] where for all 119906 V isin 119881 we have120583(119906 V) le 120590(119906) and 120590(V) A path 119875 in a fuzzy graph is a sequenceof distinct nodes V

1 V2 V

119899such that 120583(V

119894 V119894+1) gt 0 1 le 119894 le

119899 here 119899 ge 1 is called the length of the path119875The consecutivepairs (V

119894 V119894+1) are called the edge of the path A path119875 is called

a cycle if V1= V119899and 119899 ge 3 The strength of a path 119875 is

defined as ⋀119899119894=1120583(V119894 V119894+1) Let 119866 = (120590 120583) be a fuzzy graph

The degree of a vertex V is defined as 119889(V) = sum119906 = V119906isin119881 120583(V 119906)

Let 119866 = (120590 120583) be a fuzzy graph The strong degree of a node Vis defined as the sum ofmembership values of all strong edgesincident at V It is denoted by 119889

119904(V) Also if 119873

119904(V) denote the

set of all strong neighbours of V then 119889119904(V) = sum

119906isin119873119904(V) 120583(V 119906)

An edge is called a fuzzy bridge of119866 if its removal reduces thestrength of connectedness between somepair of nodes in119866 Anode is a fuzzy cut node of 119866 = (120590 120583) if removal of it reducesthe strength of connectedness between some other pairs ofnodes

Definition 1 (see [20]) A graph119866 = (120590 120583) is said to be a fuzzylabeling graph if 120590 119881 rarr [0 1] and 120583 119881 times 119881 rarr [0 1] isbijective such that themembership value of edges and verticesare distinct and 120583(119906 V) lt 120590(119906) and 120590(V) for all 119906 V isin 119881

Example 2 (see [20]) In Figure 1 120590 and 120583 are bijective suchthat no vertices and edges receive the same membershipvalue

Definition 3 (see [20]) A fuzzy labeling graph is said to be afuzzy magic graph if 120590(119906) + 120583(119906 V) + 120590(V) has a same magicvalue for all 119906 V isin 119881 which is denoted as119898

0(119866)

Example 4 (see [20]) In Figure 2 120590(1198811)+120583(119881

2) =

007 + 001 + 005 = 013 for all 1198811 1198812 isin 119881

Definition 5 A star in a fuzzy graph consists of two node sets119881 and 119880 with |119881| = 1 and |119880| gt 1 such that 120583(V 119906

119894) gt 0 and

120583(119906119894 119906119894+1) = 0 1 le 119894 le 119899 It is denoted by 119878

1119899

Example 6 A fuzzy star graph is shown in Figure 3

Definition 7 (see [20]) The fuzzy labeling graph 119867 = (120591 120588)is called a fuzzy labeling subgraph of119866 = (120590 120583) if 120591(119906) le 120590(119906)for all 119906 isin 119881 and 120588(119906 V) le 120583(119906 V) for all 119906 V isin 119881

From the above cases one can easily verify that all star graphsare fuzzy magic graphs

Remark 12 (1) If 119866 is a fuzzy magic graph then 119889(119906) = 119889(V)for any pair of nodes 119906 and V

3 Properties of Fuzzy Magic Graphs

Proposition 13 Every fuzzy magic graph is a fuzzy labelinggraph but the converse is not true

Proof This is immediate from Definition 3

Proposition 14 For every fuzzy magic graph119866 there exists atleast one fuzzy bridge

Proof Let 119866 be a fuzzy magic graph such that there existsonly one edge 120583(119909 119910) with maximum value since 120583 is bijec-tive Nowwe claim that 120583(119909 119910) is a fuzzy bridge If we removethe edge (119909 119910) from 119866 then in its subgraph we have 1205831015840infin(119909119910) lt 120583(119909 119910) which implies (119909 119910) is a fuzzy bridge

Proposition 15 Removal of a fuzzy cut node from a fuzzymagic path 119875 is also a fuzzy magic graph

Proof Let 119875 be any fuzzy magic path with length 119899 Thenthere must be a fuzzy cut node if we remove that cut nodefrom 119875 then it either becomes a smaller path or disconnectedpath anyway it remains to be a path with odd or even lengthby Proposition 8 it is concluded that removal of a fuzzycut node from a fuzzy magic path 119875 is also a fuzzy magicgraph

Proposition 16 When 119899 is odd removal of a fuzzy bridge froma fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899is a fuzzy magic graph

Proof Let 119862119899be any fuzzy magic cycle with odd nodes If we

choose any path (119906 V) then there must be at least one fuzzybridge whose removal from 119862

119899will result as a path of odd or

even length By Proposition 8 the removal of a fuzzy bridgefrom a fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899is also a fuzzy magic graph

Remark 17 (1) Removal of a fuzzy cut node from the cycle119862119899

is also a fuzzy magic graph(2) For all fuzzy magic cycles 119862

119899with odd nodes there

exists at least one pair of nodes 119906 and V such that 119889119904(119906) =

119889119904(V)

Proposition 18 Removal of a fuzzy bridge from a fuzzymagiccycle 119862

119899will reduce the strength of the fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899

Proof Let 119862119899be a fuzzy magic cycle with odd number of

nodes Now choose any path (119906 V) from 119862119899 and then it

is obvious that there exists at least one fuzzy bridge (119909 119910)Removal of this fuzzy bridge (119909 119910)will reduce the strength ofconnectedness between 119906 and VThis implies that the removalof fuzzy bridge from the fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899will reduce its

strength

4 Concluding Remarks

Fuzzy graph theory is finding an increasing number ofapplications in modeling real time systems where the level ofinformation inherent in the system varies with different levelsof precision Fuzzy models are becoming useful because oftheir aim in reducing the differences between the traditional

numerical models used in engineering and sciences and thesymbolic models used in expert systems In this paper theconcept of fuzzy labeling and fuzzymagic labeling graphs hasbeen introduced We plan to extend our research work to (1)bipolar fuzzy labeling and bipolar fuzzymagic labeling graphsand (2) fuzzy labeling and fuzzy magic labeling hypergraphs

11 Preliminaries Let 119880 and 119881 be two sets Then 120588 is said tobe a fuzzy relation from 119880 into 119881 if 120588 is a fuzzy set of 119880 times 119881A fuzzy graph 119866 = (120590 120583) is a pair of functions 120590 119881 rarr [0 1]and 120583 119881 times 119881 rarr [0 1] where for all 119906 V isin 119881 we have120583(119906 V) le 120590(119906) and 120590(V) A path 119875 in a fuzzy graph is a sequenceof distinct nodes V

119899 here 119899 ge 1 is called the length of the path119875The consecutivepairs (V

119894 V119894+1) are called the edge of the path A path119875 is called

a cycle if V1= V119899and 119899 ge 3 The strength of a path 119875 is

defined as ⋀119899119894=1120583(V119894 V119894+1) Let 119866 = (120590 120583) be a fuzzy graph

The degree of a vertex V is defined as 119889(V) = sum119906 = V119906isin119881 120583(V 119906)

Let 119866 = (120590 120583) be a fuzzy graph The strong degree of a node Vis defined as the sum ofmembership values of all strong edgesincident at V It is denoted by 119889

119904(V) Also if 119873

119904(V) denote the

set of all strong neighbours of V then 119889119904(V) = sum

Remark 12 (1) If 119866 is a fuzzy magic graph then 119889(119906) = 119889(V)for any pair of nodes 119906 and V

Proof Let 119866 be a fuzzy magic graph such that there existsonly one edge 120583(119909 119910) with maximum value since 120583 is bijec-tive Nowwe claim that 120583(119909 119910) is a fuzzy bridge If we removethe edge (119909 119910) from 119866 then in its subgraph we have 1205831015840infin(119909119910) lt 120583(119909 119910) which implies (119909 119910) is a fuzzy bridge

Proposition 15 Removal of a fuzzy cut node from a fuzzymagic path 119875 is also a fuzzy magic graph

Proof Let 119875 be any fuzzy magic path with length 119899 Thenthere must be a fuzzy cut node if we remove that cut nodefrom 119875 then it either becomes a smaller path or disconnectedpath anyway it remains to be a path with odd or even lengthby Proposition 8 it is concluded that removal of a fuzzycut node from a fuzzy magic path 119875 is also a fuzzy magicgraph

Proposition 16 When 119899 is odd removal of a fuzzy bridge froma fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899is a fuzzy magic graph

Proof Let 119862119899be any fuzzy magic cycle with odd nodes If we

choose any path (119906 V) then there must be at least one fuzzybridge whose removal from 119862

119899will result as a path of odd or

even length By Proposition 8 the removal of a fuzzy bridgefrom a fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899is also a fuzzy magic graph

Remark 17 (1) Removal of a fuzzy cut node from the cycle119862119899

is also a fuzzy magic graph(2) For all fuzzy magic cycles 119862

119899with odd nodes there

exists at least one pair of nodes 119906 and V such that 119889119904(119906) =

119889119904(V)

Proposition 18 Removal of a fuzzy bridge from a fuzzymagiccycle 119862

119899will reduce the strength of the fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899

Proof Let 119862119899be a fuzzy magic cycle with odd number of

nodes Now choose any path (119906 V) from 119862119899 and then it

is obvious that there exists at least one fuzzy bridge (119909 119910)Removal of this fuzzy bridge (119909 119910)will reduce the strength ofconnectedness between 119906 and VThis implies that the removalof fuzzy bridge from the fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899will reduce its

strength

4 Concluding Remarks

Fuzzy graph theory is finding an increasing number ofapplications in modeling real time systems where the level ofinformation inherent in the system varies with different levelsof precision Fuzzy models are becoming useful because oftheir aim in reducing the differences between the traditional

numerical models used in engineering and sciences and thesymbolic models used in expert systems In this paper theconcept of fuzzy labeling and fuzzymagic labeling graphs hasbeen introduced We plan to extend our research work to (1)bipolar fuzzy labeling and bipolar fuzzymagic labeling graphsand (2) fuzzy labeling and fuzzy magic labeling hypergraphs

3 Properties of Fuzzy Magic Graphs

Proposition 13 Every fuzzy magic graph is a fuzzy labelinggraph but the converse is not true

Proof This is immediate from Definition 3

Proposition 14 For every fuzzy magic graph119866 there exists atleast one fuzzy bridge

Proof Let 119866 be a fuzzy magic graph such that there existsonly one edge 120583(119909 119910) with maximum value since 120583 is bijec-tive Nowwe claim that 120583(119909 119910) is a fuzzy bridge If we removethe edge (119909 119910) from 119866 then in its subgraph we have 1205831015840infin(119909119910) lt 120583(119909 119910) which implies (119909 119910) is a fuzzy bridge

Proposition 15 Removal of a fuzzy cut node from a fuzzymagic path 119875 is also a fuzzy magic graph

Proof Let 119875 be any fuzzy magic path with length 119899 Thenthere must be a fuzzy cut node if we remove that cut nodefrom 119875 then it either becomes a smaller path or disconnectedpath anyway it remains to be a path with odd or even lengthby Proposition 8 it is concluded that removal of a fuzzycut node from a fuzzy magic path 119875 is also a fuzzy magicgraph

Proposition 16 When 119899 is odd removal of a fuzzy bridge froma fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899is a fuzzy magic graph

Proof Let 119862119899be any fuzzy magic cycle with odd nodes If we

choose any path (119906 V) then there must be at least one fuzzybridge whose removal from 119862

119899will result as a path of odd or

even length By Proposition 8 the removal of a fuzzy bridgefrom a fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899is also a fuzzy magic graph

Remark 17 (1) Removal of a fuzzy cut node from the cycle119862119899

is also a fuzzy magic graph(2) For all fuzzy magic cycles 119862

119899with odd nodes there

exists at least one pair of nodes 119906 and V such that 119889119904(119906) =

119889119904(V)

Proposition 18 Removal of a fuzzy bridge from a fuzzymagiccycle 119862

119899will reduce the strength of the fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899

Proof Let 119862119899be a fuzzy magic cycle with odd number of

nodes Now choose any path (119906 V) from 119862119899 and then it

is obvious that there exists at least one fuzzy bridge (119909 119910)Removal of this fuzzy bridge (119909 119910)will reduce the strength ofconnectedness between 119906 and VThis implies that the removalof fuzzy bridge from the fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899will reduce its

strength

4 Concluding Remarks

Fuzzy graph theory is finding an increasing number ofapplications in modeling real time systems where the level ofinformation inherent in the system varies with different levelsof precision Fuzzy models are becoming useful because oftheir aim in reducing the differences between the traditional

numerical models used in engineering and sciences and thesymbolic models used in expert systems In this paper theconcept of fuzzy labeling and fuzzymagic labeling graphs hasbeen introduced We plan to extend our research work to (1)bipolar fuzzy labeling and bipolar fuzzymagic labeling graphsand (2) fuzzy labeling and fuzzy magic labeling hypergraphs

Proposition 15 Removal of a fuzzy cut node from a fuzzymagic path 119875 is also a fuzzy magic graph

Proof Let 119875 be any fuzzy magic path with length 119899 Thenthere must be a fuzzy cut node if we remove that cut nodefrom 119875 then it either becomes a smaller path or disconnectedpath anyway it remains to be a path with odd or even lengthby Proposition 8 it is concluded that removal of a fuzzycut node from a fuzzy magic path 119875 is also a fuzzy magicgraph

Proposition 16 When 119899 is odd removal of a fuzzy bridge froma fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899is a fuzzy magic graph

Proof Let 119862119899be any fuzzy magic cycle with odd nodes If we

choose any path (119906 V) then there must be at least one fuzzybridge whose removal from 119862

119899will result as a path of odd or

even length By Proposition 8 the removal of a fuzzy bridgefrom a fuzzy magic cycle 119862

Proposition 18 Removal of a fuzzy bridge from a fuzzymagiccycle 119862

119899

Proof Let 119862119899be a fuzzy magic cycle with odd number of

nodes Now choose any path (119906 V) from 119862119899 and then it

is obvious that there exists at least one fuzzy bridge (119909 119910)Removal of this fuzzy bridge (119909 119910)will reduce the strength ofconnectedness between 119906 and VThis implies that the removalof fuzzy bridge from the fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899will reduce its

strength

4 Concluding Remarks

Fuzzy graph theory is finding an increasing number ofapplications in modeling real time systems where the level ofinformation inherent in the system varies with different levelsof precision Fuzzy models are becoming useful because oftheir aim in reducing the differences between the traditional

numerical models used in engineering and sciences and thesymbolic models used in expert systems In this paper theconcept of fuzzy labeling and fuzzymagic labeling graphs hasbeen introduced We plan to extend our research work to (1)bipolar fuzzy labeling and bipolar fuzzymagic labeling graphsand (2) fuzzy labeling and fuzzy magic labeling hypergraphs

3 Properties of Fuzzy Magic Graphs

Proposition 13 Every fuzzy magic graph is a fuzzy labelinggraph but the converse is not true

Proof This is immediate from Definition 3

Proposition 14 For every fuzzy magic graph119866 there exists atleast one fuzzy bridge

Proof Let 119866 be a fuzzy magic graph such that there existsonly one edge 120583(119909 119910) with maximum value since 120583 is bijec-tive Nowwe claim that 120583(119909 119910) is a fuzzy bridge If we removethe edge (119909 119910) from 119866 then in its subgraph we have 1205831015840infin(119909119910) lt 120583(119909 119910) which implies (119909 119910) is a fuzzy bridge

Proposition 15 Removal of a fuzzy cut node from a fuzzymagic path 119875 is also a fuzzy magic graph

Proof Let 119875 be any fuzzy magic path with length 119899 Thenthere must be a fuzzy cut node if we remove that cut nodefrom 119875 then it either becomes a smaller path or disconnectedpath anyway it remains to be a path with odd or even lengthby Proposition 8 it is concluded that removal of a fuzzycut node from a fuzzy magic path 119875 is also a fuzzy magicgraph

Proposition 16 When 119899 is odd removal of a fuzzy bridge froma fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899is a fuzzy magic graph

Proof Let 119862119899be any fuzzy magic cycle with odd nodes If we

choose any path (119906 V) then there must be at least one fuzzybridge whose removal from 119862

119899will result as a path of odd or

even length By Proposition 8 the removal of a fuzzy bridgefrom a fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899is also a fuzzy magic graph

Remark 17 (1) Removal of a fuzzy cut node from the cycle119862119899

is also a fuzzy magic graph(2) For all fuzzy magic cycles 119862

119899with odd nodes there

exists at least one pair of nodes 119906 and V such that 119889119904(119906) =

119889119904(V)

Proposition 18 Removal of a fuzzy bridge from a fuzzymagiccycle 119862

119899will reduce the strength of the fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899

Proof Let 119862119899be a fuzzy magic cycle with odd number of

nodes Now choose any path (119906 V) from 119862119899 and then it

is obvious that there exists at least one fuzzy bridge (119909 119910)Removal of this fuzzy bridge (119909 119910)will reduce the strength ofconnectedness between 119906 and VThis implies that the removalof fuzzy bridge from the fuzzy magic cycle 119862

119899will reduce its

strength

4 Concluding Remarks

Fuzzy graph theory is finding an increasing number ofapplications in modeling real time systems where the level ofinformation inherent in the system varies with different levelsof precision Fuzzy models are becoming useful because oftheir aim in reducing the differences between the traditional

numerical models used in engineering and sciences and thesymbolic models used in expert systems In this paper theconcept of fuzzy labeling and fuzzymagic labeling graphs hasbeen introduced We plan to extend our research work to (1)bipolar fuzzy labeling and bipolar fuzzymagic labeling graphsand (2) fuzzy labeling and fuzzy magic labeling hypergraphs
