Abstract
In this paper, the notion of picture fuzzy competition graph along with its few generalizations such as m-step picture fuzzy competition graphs, picture fuzzy economic competition graphs and picture fuzzy competition hypergraphs are introduced. Some related picture fuzzy graphs including picture fuzzy m-step neighborhood graph, picture fuzzy m-step economic competition graph and picture fuzzy k-competition hypergraphs are introduced. Some properties of these graphs have been investigated. Finally, applications of m-step picture fuzzy competition graphs and picture fuzzy competition hypergraphs are presented in several fields such as in education system, ecosystem, business market and job competition.
