The Double Domination Number Of Fuzzy Graphs

Abstract A subset D of V in a fuzzy graph G = (µ, ) is a double dominating set of G if for each vertex in V is dominated by at least two vertices in D. The double domination number of a fuzzy graph G is the minimum fuzzy cardinality of a double dominating set D and is denoted by dd(G) . In this paper we initiate the study of double domination in fuzzy graphs and present bounds and some exact values for dd(G). Also relationship between dd(G) and other known domination parameters are explored.
