Abstract

In this paper we have provided a brief expository note on graphs that are fuzzy in nature and how the fuzzy concept when mixed with graphs tend to provide better solutions for pertinent application areas as diverse as traffic management, telecommunication and brain networks. The concept of graph coloring and the utility value of neutrosophic and intutionistic structures in graph set up are discussed with illustrations. We also probed the possibility of applications of existing methods associated with normal graphs to graphs that are fuzzy so that tough tasks of comprehending the functioning of human brain can be attempted in near future.
