| Popis: | This paper extends the framework of soft set theory to directed graphs by introducing and analyzing the concepts of the normal product and restricted normal product of soft directed graphs. Building on Molodtsov’s foundational work in developing soft set theory to address uncertainty in data, this study presents new methods for modeling and understanding complex systems where uncertainty plays a significant role. Soft directed graphs, which enhance traditional graph models by incorporating parameters and uncertain relationships, serve as the foundation for this investigation. The normal product, defined as a combination of two soft directed graphs based on their respective parameter sets, and the restricted normal product, which combines soft directed graphs only where their parameter sets intersect, provide a comprehensive framework for these new operations. This paper also establishes the structural properties of these products, ensuring they are well-defined and retain the key features of soft directed graphs. Furthermore, we derive combinatorial identities related to vertex and arc counts, as well as degree sums, offering deeper insights into the composition and behavior of these graph products. |
