Description
Summary:A complex picture fuzzy set (Com-PFS) is a motivating tool for more precisely interpreting fuzzy notions. Recently, all extensions of complex fuzzy graphs (Com-FGs) have become a growing research topic as they handle ambiguous situations more explicitly than complex intuitionistic fuzzy graphs (Comp-IFG) and picture fuzzy graphs (PFG). The primary goal of this study is to demonstrate the foundation of Com-PFG due to the drawback of the complex neutral membership function in Com-IFG. This paper introduces the concept of Com-PFGs and explains many of the approaches to their development. A Com-PFG has three complex membership functions. We define the order, size, degree of vertex, and total degree of vertex in Com-PFGs. We elaborate on primary operations including: complement, join, union, Cartesian product, direct product, and composition of Com-PFG. Finally, we discuss its use in decision-making problems.
