Abstract

We present different types of new concepts, including intuitionistic fuzzy soft graphs, complete intuitionistic fuzzy soft graph, strong intuitionistic fuzzy soft graph and self complement of intuitionistic fuzzy soft graph. We describe various methods of their construction, and investigate some of their related properties. We also discuss applications of intuitionistic fuzzy soft graphs in communication network and decision making.
