Abstract :

Type I strong arcs, Type II strong arcs, left feeble arcs, right feeble arcs and weak arcs in an Interval Valued Fuzzy Graph (IVFG) are introduced in this paper. We obtain a characterization of weak arcs. If every two arcs are comparable in an IVFG, then it contains only $alpha$ strong arcs and weak arcs. An arc in an IVFG is a weak arc if and only if it is the unique weakest arc of at least one cycle in it.

Keywords :
