Abstract

A new dioïd structure (ωk;,⊕, ⊗, ε, e) is proposed to solve a path-finding problem in a fuzzy graph. This algebraic structure is adapted precisely to solve the problem of the K-best fuzzy shortest paths. We demonstrate that the generalized Gauss-Seidel's algorithm always converges for the solving of the K-best fuzzy shortest paths problem on a valued fuzzy graph without cycles of negative weight. This work starts a safe extension of the path algebra paradigm to valued fuzzy graphs for the shortest path-finding problem.
