In the realm of linking networks to real world, connectivity (strength connectedness) plays a crucial role. this article, we introduce three types vertices based on indegree and outdegree directed rough fuzzy (DRFNs). We also define concept strength-reducing sets ( $$\mathcal {SRS}s$$ ) DRF-vertices, DRF-edges, important related results using strongest path in graphs (DRFGs). generalize idea Me...
