Abstract

Connectivity is the most important aspect of a dynamic network. It has been widely studied and applied in different perspectives in the past. In this paper, constructions of t-connected fuzzy graphs for an arbitrary real number t and average fuzzy vertex connectivity of fuzzy graphs are discussed. Average fuzzy vertex connectivity of fuzzy trees, fuzzy cycles and complete fuzzy graphs are studied. The concept of a uniformly t-connected fuzzy graph is introduced and characterized towards the end. An application related to human trafficking is also discussed.
