the notion of strong arcs in a fuzzy graph was introduced bybhutani and rosenfeld in [1] and fuzzy end nodes in the subsequent paper[2] using the concept of strong arcs. in mordeson and yao [7], the notion of“degrees” for concepts fuzzified from graph theory were defined and studied.in this note, we discuss degrees for fuzzy end nodes and study further someproperties of fuzzy end nodes and fuzz...

In this paper the idea of strong sum distance which is a metric, in a fuzzy graph is introduced. Based on this metric the concepts of eccentricity, radius, diameter, center and self centered fuzzy graphs are studied. Some properties of eccentric nodes, peripheral nodes and central nodes are obtained. A characterisation of self centered complete fuzzy graph is obtained and conditions under which...

Support for real time multimedia applications such as, video telephony, financial stock quote services, and multiplayer interactive games etc., is very essential in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). Such applications require multiple Quality of Service (QoS) parameters to be satisfied, like bandwidth, end-toend delay, packet loss rate, jitter, etc. This paper considers the problem of finding nod...

Routing is a challenging task in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) due to their dynamic topology and lack of central administration. As a consequence of un-predictable topology changes of such networks, routing protocols employed need to accurately capture the delay, load, available bandwidth and residual node energy at various locations of the network for effective energy and load balancing. This...

The fuzzy graph approach is more powerful in cluster analysis than the usual graph – theoretic approach due to its ability to handle the strengths of arcs effectively. The concept of node-strength sequence is introduced and is studied in a complete fuzzy graph. Two new connectivity parameters in fuzzy graphs namely, fuzzy node connectivity ðjÞ and fuzzy arc connectivity ðj0Þ are introduced and ...

In mobile ad hoc wireless networks (MANETs), traditional protocol like AODV performs well for low mobility of nodes but not for high node mobility. So, it becomes important to consider mobility factor during the path selection procedure of routing protocol. Here, a fuzzy logic mobility based protocol (FLMAODV) that considers the mobility factor is proposed. Due to the consideration of mobility ...

Fuzzy incidence graphs can be used as models for nondeterministic interconnection networks having extra node-edgerelationships. For example, ramps in a highway system may be modeled as a fuzzy incidence graph so that unexpectedflow between cities and highways can be effectively studied and controlled. Like node and edge connectivity in graphs,node connectivity and arc connectivity in fuzzy inci...

An on-demand route discovery method in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) uses simple flooding method, whereas a mobile node blindly rebroadcasts received route request (RREQ) packets until a route to a particular destination is established. Thus, this leads to broadcast storm problem. This paper presents a novel algorithm for broadcasting scheme in wireless ad hoc networks using a fuzzy logic syst...

This paper presents a novel technique for optimizing the efficiency of route discovery. The optimization aims to minimize the number of cached route request (RREQ), which is a significant source of overhead for the dynamic source routing (DSR) protocol. Our proposed technique is based on a decision algorithm that weighs individual links as a path to the necessary destination is being constructe...
