Abstract

The notion of strong arcs in a fuzzy graph was introduced by
Bhutani 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 some
properties of fuzzy end nodes and fuzzy cut nodes.
