Abstract
The prime objective of this paper is to introduce a new model of threshold graphs in the complex fuzzy environment that has the capability of handling two-dimensional vague data. The proposed model is called as complex fuzzy threshold graph (CFTG). We introduce certain concepts related to CFTGs including, complex fuzzy alternating 4-cycle, complex fuzzy threshold dimension and complex fuzzy partition number of complex fuzzy graphs. We illustrate these concepts with examples. Further, we investigate some of their properties and discuss proficiency of the presented approach by investigating potential applications related to water source controlling system and internet service providers.
