Analyzing Network Stability via Symmetric Structures and Domination Integrity in Signed Fuzzy Graphs
The concept of domination is introduced within the context of signed fuzzy graphs (signed-FGs), along with examples, as a novel metric to evaluate graph stability under varying conditions. This metric particularly focuses on dominant sets and integrity measures, providing a well-rounded approach to assessing the structural stability of signed- FGs. The necessity of fulfilling the domination integrity condition in evaluating the performance of signed-FGs is highlighted through a discussion on its formulation and an analysis of its upper and lower bounds. An algorithm for identifying strong arcs and classifying them is presented, along with an algorithm for identifying signed fuzzy trees. Furthermore, the role of symmetry in signed-FGs is explored, revealing that symmetrical structures often correspond to higher domination integrity, thus contributing to the improved stability and predictability of the graphs. The paper also establishes important connections with classical graph varieties, such as complete graphs and their variations, demonstrating that changes in domination integrity increase with certain parameters. Additionally, real-life scenarios where these concepts are applicable serve to complement the theoretical results. The case study findings illustrate the significance of domination integrity in practical contexts by emphasizing various instances where it can be determined and utilized. Such instances include identifying independent dominant sets in path and cycle diagrams, as well as estimating the lower bounds of domination integrity in these structures. The estimation of domination integrity using block graph methods is underscored as crucial for enhancing the efficiency of signed-FG applications.
