Abstract. In graph theory, the hypergraph [22] extends the traditional graph structure by allowing edges to
connect multiple vertices, and this concept is further broadened by the superhypergraph [174,176]. Additionally,
several types of uncertain graphs have been explored, including fuzzy graphs [136, 153], neutrosophic graphs
[35, 36], and plithogenic graphs [66, 75, 185].
This study explores the SuperHyperGraph, Single-Valued Neutrosophic Quasi SuperHyperGraph, and
Plithogenic Quasi SuperHyperGraph, analyzing their relationships with other graph classes. Future work will
define the Semi Superhypergraph, Multi Superhypergraph, Pseudo Superhypergraph, Mixed Superhypergraph,
and Bidirected Superhypergraph and examine their connections to existing classes in hypergraphs and graphs.
1. Short Introduction
Graphs are widely recognized as powerful tools for representing concepts and the relation-
ships between them [57]. Graphs continue to play a significant role in computer science and
societal applications, especially in areas such as graph neural networks [14, 39, 60, 76, 121, 123,
163, 211, 212, 214, 226]. In graph theory, various classes of graphs have been developed to
address diverse applications and objectives [30].
In graph theory, the concept of a hypergraph [22], which extends the idea of a traditional
graph, is well established and further generalized by the concept of a superhypergraph [174,
176]. The hypergraph concept has found applications in fields such as database theory [87,
100] and hypergraph neural networks [44, 94, 117, 122, 206, 213]. Examples in database theory
include hypertree and hypergraph databases [13, 90], while in hypergraph neural networks,
various applications have emerged, such as GroupNet, Metro, Hypergraph Neural Networks

Additionally, various types of uncertain graphs have been explored, including fuzzy graphs
[136, 153], neutrosophic graphs [35, 36], and plithogenic graphs [66, 75, 185], along with their
corresponding hypergraph versions [23]. In these contexts, extensive research has also been
conducted on applications such as decision-making [5, 10, 34, 106, 116, 164, 186] and uncertain
neural networks [42, 89, 109, 120, 146, 208, 227].
Although some superhypergraph concepts, such as Fuzzy Superhypergraphs [91–93, 175],
have been explored, their full mathematical properties and applications remain largely unex-
plored.
The discussion above highlights the mathematical value and significance of research on
uncertain graphs, hypergraphs, and their generalizations to superhypergraphs. In this brief
paper, we explore superhypergraphs in greater depth, specifically presenting key findings by
defining the Intuitionistic Fuzzy Quasi SuperHyperGraph, the Single-Valued Neutrosophic
Quasi SuperHyperGraph, and the Plithogenic Quasi SuperHyperGraph, as well as examining
their relationships with other graph classes. Future work will involve defining the Semi Super-
hypergraph, Multi Superhypergraph, Pseudo Superhypergraph, Mixed Superhypergraph, and
Bidirected Superhypergraph and investigating their connections to existing classes in hyper-
graphs and graphs.
This section provides an overview of the fundamental definitions and notations used through-
out the paper. Basic concepts from set theory are also applied in parts of this work; for
additional details, please refer to relevant references as needed [63, 95, 97, 102, 115].

This subsection explains the basic concepts of graph theory. Below are some of the foun-
dational ideas in this field. For more in-depth information on graph theory and its notations,
please refer to [52, 55, 57, 210].
Definition 2.1 (Graph). [57] A graph G is a mathematical structure that represents rela-
tionships between objects. It consists of a set of vertices V (G) and a set of edges E(G), where
each edge connects a pair of vertices. Formally, a graph is represented as G = (V, E), where
V is the set of vertices and E is the set of edges.
Definition 2.2 (Degree). [57] Let G = (V, E) be a graph. The degree of a vertex v ∈ V ,
denoted deg(v), is defined as the number of edges connected to v. For undirected graphs, the
degree is given by:
deg(v) = |{e ∈ E | v ∈ e}|.
For directed graphs, the in-degree deg− (v) refers to the number of edges directed towards v,
while the out-degree deg+ (v) represents the number of edges directed away from v.
This subsection explains the basic concepts of graph theory. Below are some of the foun-
dational ideas in this field. For more in-depth information on graph theory and its nota-
tions, please refer to [52, 55, 57, 210]. As highlighted in the introduction, this paper centers
on uncertain graph models, including Fuzzy, Intuitionistic Fuzzy, and Neutrosophic Graphs.
Addressing real-world uncertainties requires robust mathematical frameworks, such as Fuzzy
Sets [219–225], Soft Sets [131], Picture Fuzzy Sets [45,77,105,159,168,188,207], Spherical Fuzzy
Sets [16, 111, 112], Vague Sets [4, 38, 43], Hesitant Fuzzy Sets [197, 198], Rough Sets [143, 144],
and Neutrosophic Sets [169–172, 184, 187]. These frameworks are invaluable for analyzing am-
biguous or imprecise information. The concept of Fuzzy Graphs and related uncertain graph
models can be viewed as extensions of these sets into graph theory, offering versatile tools for
managing uncertainty in network structures.
The following sections define these graph concepts. For more on uncertain graphs, recent
surveys provide comprehensive insights [67, 69–71, 192].
Definition 2.3 (Uncertain Graphs). (cf. [69]) Let G = (V, E) be a classical graph with a set
of vertices V and a set of edges E. Depending on the type of graph, each vertex v ∈ V and
edge e ∈ E is assigned membership values to represent various degrees of truth, indeterminacy,
falsity, and other nuanced measures of uncertainty.

This subsection provides an overview of the plithogenic graph. A plithogenic graph extends
Fuzzy, Intuitionistic Fuzzy, and Neutrosophic Graphs, representing the graphical counterpart
of a plithogenic set [64, 167, 173].
A plithogenic set consists of elements with multiple attributes, where each attribute has
specific values accompanied by degrees of membership and contradiction (fuzzy, intuitionistic,
or neutrosophic) [173]. The formal definition of a plithogenic graph is outlined below [173,190].
Definition 2.4. [173, 190] Let G = (V, E) be a crisp graph where V is the set of vertices and
E ⊆ V × V is the set of edges. A Plithogenic Graph P G is defined as:
P G = (P M, P N )
where:
(1) Plithogenic Vertex Set P M = (M, l, M l, adf, aCf ):
• M ⊆ V is the set of vertices.
• l is an attribute associated with the vertices.
• M l is the range of possible attribute values.
• adf : M ×M l → [0, 1]s is the Degree of Appurtenance Function (DAF) for vertices.
• aCf : M l × M l → [0, 1]t is the Degree of Contradiction Function (DCF) for
vertices.
(2) Plithogenic Edge Set P N = (N, m, N m, bdf, bCf ):
• N ⊆ E is the set of edges.
• m is an attribute associated with the edges.
• N m is the range of possible attribute values.
• bdf : N × N m → [0, 1]s is the Degree of Appurtenance Function (DAF) for edges.

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems, Vol. 77, 2025 552
bdf ((xy), (a, b)) ≤ min{adf (x, a), adf (y, b)}
bCf ((a, b), (c, d)) ≤ min{aCf (a, c), aCf (b, d)}
aCf (a, a) = 0, ∀a ∈ M l
bCf (a, a) = 0, ∀a ∈ N m
Definition 2.7 (Fuzzy Hypergraph). [8, 23, 133] A fuzzy hypergraph G = (V, E, ψ, w) is a
hypergraph where vertices have fuzzy membership degrees in hyperedges, and each hyperedge
has an associated weight. The fuzzy hypergraph is defined as follows:
• V is the set of vertices.
• E is the set of hyperedges, where each hyperedge e ∈ E is a subset of V .
• ψ ∈ [0, 1]|E|×|V | is a matrix where ψei represents the degree of membership of vertex
i ∈ V in hyperedge e ∈ E, satisfying i∈V ψei = 1 for each e ∈ E and e∈E ψei > 0
P P
for each i ∈ V .
• w : E → R+ assigns a positive weight w(e) to each hyperedge e ∈ E.
Here, the matrix ψ serves as the incidence matrix of the fuzzy hypergraph, where each hyper-
edge quantifies the participation of each vertex. The weight function w provides a quantitative
measure for the importance or relevance of each hyperedge.
with µj (xi ) denoting the degree of membership of vertex xi to the hyperedge Ej , and
νj (xi ) denoting the degree of non-membership. It is required that 0 ≤ µj (xi )+νj (xi ) ≤
1 for all xi ∈ V and all Ej ∈ E.

j=1
where supp(Ej ) = {xi ∈ V | µj (xi ) > 0 and νj (xi ) > 0} is the support of Ej .
i=1
where each edge Ei is defined as:
with TEi (vj ), IEi (vj ), FEi (vj ) representing the truth-membership, indeterminacy-membership,
and falsity-membership of vertex vj to edge Ei respectively. The pair H = (V, E) is called a
single-valued neutrosophic hypergraph (SVNH).
This construction ensures that each e0 ⊆ V 0 , thus meeting the definition of a hyperedge in H 0 .
Verification: The transformed structure H 0 = (V 0 , E 0 ) satisfies the following properties of a
hypergraph:
• V 0 is a set of vertices, where each element corresponds to an element in the underlying
set U (not subsets of U ), ensuring V 0 ⊆ U .
• Each edge e0 ∈ E 0 is a subset of V 0 and does not contain supervertices, adhering to the
standard hypergraph structure where each edge is a subset of the vertex set.
Thus, the transformation from H = (V, E) to H 0 = (V 0 , E 0 ) is valid, and H 0 is a hypergraph
as required.
Next, the definitions for the Fuzzy Quasi-SuperHyperGraph and the q-Fuzzy Quasi-
SuperHyperGraph are provided below. These are graph concepts that extend the Quasi-
SuperHyperGraph through fuzzy relations.
for all x ∈ V , and where w(σt ) = σt (x) denotes the total weight of the fuzzy supervertex
P
x∈St
σt . Here, σi and σj represent fuzzy supervertices, and µi,j represents fuzzy superedges or fuzzy
links from σi to σj .
If q = 1, we denote this as a fuzzy quasi-superhypergraph.
In this section, we present the main results of this paper by defining the Intuitionistic
Fuzzy Quasi SuperHyperGraph, Single-Valued Neutrosophic Quasi SuperHyperGraph, and
Plithogenic Quasi SuperHyperGraph, and examining their relationships with other graph
classes. While the ideas underlying these graph concepts have been suggested in sources
such as [174], this paper reinterprets them through formal mathematical definitions.
The definition of an Intuitionistic Fuzzy Quasi SuperHyperGraph and its relationships with
other graph classes are presented below.
on H ∗ consists of:
• For each supervertex Si , membership and non-membership functions µSi , νSi : Si →
[0, 1] satisfying:
Additionally, we define the hesitation degree for vertices and edges as:
πSi (x) = 1 − µSi (x) − νSi (x), πi,j (x, φi,j (x)) = 1 − µi,j (x, φi,j (x)) − νi,j (x, φi,j (x)),
representing the indeterminacy or hesitation of x in Si and the connection from x to φi,j (x),
respectively.
Theorem 3.2. Any intuitionistic fuzzy quasi superhypergraph H can be transformed into a
fuzzy quasi superhypergraph H 0 by neglecting the non-membership functions and adjusting the
membership functions accordingly.
• For each superedge φi,j , define the membership function µ0i,j : φi,j → [0, 1] by:
By omitting the non-membership functions νSi and νi,j , we effectively reduce the intuitionistic
fuzzy structure to a fuzzy one. The resulting fuzzy membership functions µ0Si and µ0i,j retain
the original membership degrees, ensuring that the essential relationships in H are preserved
in H 0 .
Theorem 3.3. Any intuitionistic fuzzy quasi superhypergraph H can be transformed into an
intuitionistic fuzzy hypergraph H 00 by representing the supervertices and superedges as standard
vertices and edges in a hypergraph.
• For each element x ∈ V 0 , define the membership and non-membership functions µV 0 (x)
and νV 0 (x) as:
By treating each element of the supervertices as individual vertices and each mapping as edges,
we construct an intuitionistic fuzzy hypergraph H 00 that encapsulates the same relationships
as H.
µSi (x) = TSi (x), νSi (x) = FSi (x) + ISi (x), ∀x ∈ Si .
• Since 0 ≤ TSi (x) + ISi (x) + FSi (x) ≤ 1, it follows that µSi (x) + νSi (x) ≤ 1, satisfying
the conditions of an intuitionistic fuzzy membership.
• For each superedge φi,j , define µi,j and νi,j similarly:
µi,j (x, φi,j (x)) = Ti,j (x, φi,j (x)), νi,j (x, φi,j (x)) = Fi,j (x, φi,j (x)) + Ii,j (x, φi,j (x)).

By combining the indeterminacy and falsity degrees into a single non-membership function,
we effectively reduce the neutrosophic structure to an intuitionistic fuzzy structure.
• For each mapping φi,j , create edges between x ∈ Si and y = φi,j (x) ∈ Sj , with
neutrosophic membership functions:
TE (x, y) = Ti,j (x, y), IE (x, y) = Ii,j (x, y), FE (x, y) = Fi,j (x, y).
S = S1 ∩ S2,
Φ = Φ1 ∩ Φ2 ,
(2) The overall membership degree of an element x ∈ Si with attribute value a is adjusted
by the contradiction between a and other attribute values.
Theorem 3.9. Every Plithogenic Quasi SuperHyperGraph can be transformed into a Single-
Valued Neutrosophic Quasi SuperHyperGraph.
Proof. Given a Plithogenic Quasi SuperHyperGraph H = (X, S, Φ, Θ), we can define the
neutrosophic membership functions for each supervertex and superedge based on the Degrees
of Appurtenance and Contradiction.
For each supervertex Si and x ∈ Si with attribute value a ∈ Mli :

As noted in the introduction, numerous graph classes have been proposed within graph
theory, alongside ongoing efforts to generalize these classes [30]. The semigraph is recognized
as a generalized graph class extending the standard concept of a graph [46,161,165]. Recently,
an even broader generalization, the semihypergraph, has been introduced, further expanding
on this structure [101]. Similarly, it is reasonable to expect the existence of a semi superhy-
pergraph, which would build on the structure of the superhypergraph. In future work, we
aim to explore the mathematical structure of the semi superhypergraph, as well as potential
extensions incorporating Fuzzy and Neutrosophic properties and concepts such as the semi
n-superhypergraph [174].

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems, Vol. 77, 2025 563
The definitions of the already established concepts of the semigraph and semihypergraph,
along with the conceptual framework for the semi superhypergraph, are presented below.
(1) Intersection Condition: Any two edges in E have at most one vertex in common.
(2) Edge Equivalence: Two edges E1 = (u1 , u2 , . . . , um ) and E2 = (v1 , v2 , . . . , vn ) are
considered equal if and only if:
• m = n (they have the same length).
• Either ui = vi for all i = 1, . . . , n (identical ordering), or ui = vn−i+1 for all
i = 1, . . . , n (reverse ordering).
(1) Intersection Condition: Any two hyperedges in Eh have at most one vertex in common.
(2) Hyperedge Equivalence: Two hyperedges Ehm = (u1 , u2 , . . . , um ) and Ehn =
(v1 , v2 , . . . , vn ) are considered equal if and only if:
• m = n (they have the same length).
• Either ui = vi for all i = 1, . . . , n (identical ordering), or ui = vn−i+1 for all
i = 1, . . . , n (reverse ordering).
Proof. Let Hs = (V, Eh ) be a semihypergraph with a vertex set V and a set Eh of hyperedges,
where each hyperedge Ehj ∈ Eh is an ordered kj -tuple of distinct vertices from V with kj ≥ 2.
We construct a corresponding semigraph G = (V, E) as follows:
We can show that both superhypergraphs and semihypergraphs can be represented as semi
superhypergraphs.
Theorem 4.5. Every superhypergraph and every semihypergraph can be represented as a semi
superhypergraph.
• Set V 0 = V . That is, the vertices of the semi superhypergraph are the supervertices of
the superhypergraph.
• Set S = V 0 . Each supervertex in V 0 is a supervertex in H.
• For each superedge e = {Si1 , Si2 , . . . , Sim } ∈ E, define an ordered superedge E 0 =
(Si1 , Si2 , . . . , Sim ) and include it in E 0 .
The Intersection Condition and Superedge Equivalence in the semi superhypergraph are
satisfied because they correspond directly to those in the superhypergraph, with the addition
of ordering, which is accounted for in the equivalence condition.
Part 2: Semihypergraphs as Semi SuperHyperGraphs
Let Hs = (V, Eh ) be a semihypergraph, where:
Again, the Intersection Condition and Superedge Equivalence in the semi superhypergraph
are satisfied because they correspond to those in the semihypergraph, with vertices replaced
by singleton supervertices.
In this paper, we also introduce the concept of a Soft Semihypergraph, a hybrid graph
structure that merges elements from both Soft Hypergraphs [9, 82, 162] and Soft Semigraphs
[79–81]. A soft graph, in general, is a mathematical framework that extends soft set theory to
graph structures, assigning parameters to vertices and edges to effectively manage uncertainty.
Below, we provide definitions of Soft Hypergraphs and Soft Semigraphs, followed by an initial
definition of a Soft Semihypergraph as a concept still under development.

Definition 4.6. [131] Let U be a non-empty finite set, called the universe of discourse, and
let E be a non-empty set of parameters. A soft set over U is defined as follows:
where F (a) ⊆ U for each a ∈ A and P (U ) denotes the power set of U . The set of all soft sets
over U is denoted by S(U ).
(1) Soft Subset: Let F = (F, A) and G = (G, B) be two soft sets over the common universe
U . We say that F is a soft subset of G, denoted F ⊆ G, if:
• A⊆B
• F (a) ⊆ G(a) for all a ∈ A.
(2) Union of Soft Sets: The union of two soft sets F = (F, A) and G = (G, B) over U is
defined as H = (H, C) where C = A ∪ B and
F (e),
e∈A−B
H(e) = G(e), e∈B−A
F (e) ∪ G(e), e ∈ A ∩ B
(3) Intersection of Soft Sets: The intersection of two soft sets F = (F, A) and G = (G, B)
with disjoint parameter sets A ∩ B = ∅ is defined as H = (H, C), where C = A ∩ B
and
H(e) = F (e) ∩ G(e), ∀e ∈ C.
Definition 4.7. [82] Let H ∗ = (V, E) be a hypergraph with a vertex set V and a hyperedge
set E. A soft hypergraph is defined by a 4-tuple H = (H ∗ , A, B, C), where:
(1) H ∗ = (V, E) is a simple hypergraph.
(2) C is a nonempty set of parameters.
(3) (A, C) is a soft set over V , where A : C → P(V ) is a mapping such that A(c) ⊆ V for
each c ∈ C.
(4) (B, C) is a soft set over Es , the set of all subhyperedges of H ∗ , where B : C → P(Es )
maps each c ∈ C to a subset of the maximal subhyperedges of H ∗ .
(5) For each c ∈ C, the pair (A(c), B(c)) forms a semisubhypergraph of H ∗ , meaning each
element in B(c) is a subhyperedge of a hyperedge in H ∗ and corresponds to the vertices
in A(c).
If we denote (A(c), B(c)) by F (c), then the soft hypergraph H is represented by {F (c) : c ∈ C},
where each F (c) is termed as a hyperpart (or simply h-part) of the soft hypergraph H.
Definition 4.8 (Soft Semigraph). [79, 81] Let S ∗ = (T, D) be a semigraph with vertex set T
and edge set D. A soft semigraph is defined by a 4-tuple S = (S ∗ , I, J, K), where:

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems, Vol. 77, 2025 567
Theorem 4.10. The concept of a soft semihypergraph generalizes both semihypergraphs and
soft semigraphs. Specifically:
(1) Every semihypergraph can be considered as a soft semihypergraph.
(2) Every soft semigraph can be represented as a soft semihypergraph.
4.3. Multi-Superhypergraph
One well-known graph class is the multigraph, which allows for multiple (parallel) edges be-
tween the same pair of vertices [40,62,110,127]. This concept extends to the multi-hypergraph,
a generalization to hypergraphs where parallel hyperedges are permitted. Both multigraphs
and multi-hypergraphs [145, 209] have numerous applications, particularly in areas such as
neural network theory [25, 114, 119, 189]. Here, we aim to explore an even broader extension
with the definition of the Multi-Superhypergraph, provided below.
Definition 4.12 (Multiset). [26, 27, 166] A multiset M over a set S is a collection where
each element x ∈ S can appear more than once. Formally, a multiset is defined as a pair
M = (S, m), where:
Takaaki Fujita and Florentin Smarandache, A Concise Study of Some Superhypergraph
classes
Neutrosophic Sets and Systems, Vol. 77, 2025 569
Theorem 4.16. Every Multigraph and every Multi-Hypergraph can be represented as a Multi-
Superhypergraph. Conversely, the Multi-Superhypergraph generalizes both the Multigraph and
the Multi-Hypergraph.
4.4. Pseudo-SuperHypergraph
A pseudograph is a type of graph that allows parallel edges and self-loops (edges that
return to the originating vertex) [21, 29, 110]. This structure enables the representation of
more complex relationships and intricate networks compared to standard graphs [203, 217].
A pseudo-hypergraph generalizes the pseudograph concept by incorporating hypergraphs, ex-
tending its capabilities for modeling even more sophisticated connections [17, 31, 118]. Moving
forward, We aim to elucidate the mathematical structure and potential applications of the
pseudo-superhypergraph. Below, we present the established definitions of pseudograph and
pseudo-hypergraph, followed by an overview of the pseudo-superhypergraph.
Definition 4.17 (Pseudograph). [202] A pseudograph G = (V, E) is a graph that consists of:
– Multiple occurrences of the same vertex within a supervertex (vertices can repeat
within s).
– Multiple occurrences of the same supervertex in S (supervertices can repeat in
S).
• Superedges: A multiset E of multisets over S, called superedges. Each superedge e ∈ E
is a multiset of supervertices from S, allowing:
– Multiple occurrences of the same supervertex within a superedge (supervertices
can repeat within e).
– Multiple occurrences of the same superedge in E (superedges can repeat in E).
A mixed graph integrates undirected and directed edges, allowing both bidirectional and
directional connections between vertices [64, 154]. This concept has been expanded to mixed
hypergraphs [193], extending the structure to hypergraphs, whose mathematical properties
have been examined in depth. In this paper, we further introduce the framework of mixed
superhypergraphs. Future work will explore fuzzy mixed hypergraphs and neutrosophic mixed
hypergraphs, combining elements of fuzzy and neutrosophic graphs within this extended struc-
ture. Although detailed definitions are beyond this paper’s scope, readers needing background

on directed graphs [24, 37, 103], directed hypergraphs [85, 108, 132, 135], or directed superhy-
pergraphs [65] are encouraged to consult relevant literature as needed.
Definition 4.23 (Mixed Graph). [152] A mixed graph G = (V, E ∪ A) is a graph structure
with:
• V , a non-empty set of vertices.
• E, a set of undirected edges, where each edge e ∈ E is an unordered pair {u, v} of
distinct vertices u, v ∈ V .
• A, a set of directed edges (also called arcs), where each arc a ∈ A is an ordered pair
(u, v) of distinct vertices u, v ∈ V .
In a mixed graph, an edge can either connect two vertices bidirectionally (undirected) or
directionally (from one vertex to another).
Remark 4.24. A mixed graph combines features of both undirected and directed graphs.
While undirected edges e = {u, v} imply symmetric relationships between vertices u and v,
directed edges a = (u, v) define an asymmetric connection from u to v.
Remark 4.26. Mixed hypergraphs generalize mixed graphs by allowing hyperedges, which can
involve more than two vertices, and by permitting directed connections (dyperedges) between
sets of vertices and individual vertices. The structure enables modeling of more complex
relationships in network theory, such as group-to-individual influence dynamics.
Theorem 4.27. Any mixed hypergraph can be transformed into a mixed graph.
Proof. Given a mixed hypergraph H = (V, E∪A), we construct a mixed graph G = (V 0 , E 0 ∪A0 )
as follows:

classes
Neutrosophic Sets and Systems, Vol. 77, 2025 575
Verification:
The resulting G is a mixed graph that represents the original mixed hypergraph H.
Theorem 4.29. Any mixed superhypergraph can be transformed into a mixed hypergraph.
(1) Vertex Set V 0 : Introduce a new vertex vs in V 0 for each supervertex s ∈ S. Thus,
V 0 = {vs | s ∈ S}.

e0 = {vs | s ∈ e}.
(3) Directed Hyperedges A0 : For each directed superedge a = (Z, z) ∈ A, create a directed
hyperedge a0 in A0 defined by:
a0 = ({vs | s ∈ Z}, vz ),
Theorem 4.30. Any mixed superhypergraph can be transformed into an undirected superhy-
pergraph by removing the directed superedges.
ea = Z ∪ {z}.
Verification:
• The undirected superedges in E remain unchanged.
• Each directed superedge a = (Z, z) is converted into an undirected superedge ea con-
necting all supervertices in Z ∪ {z}, thus removing directionality while preserving the
connectivity.

The concept of the bidirected graph [15, 59, 78] has been introduced in recent years. Below,
we provide definitions for the bidirected hypergraph and bidirected superhypergraph, which
generalize bidirected graphs.
Definition 4.31 (Bidirected Graph). [15,59,78] A bidirected graph (also known as a bigraph)
is a pair B = (G, τ ), where:
• G = (V, E) is a simple undirected graph, where V is a non-empty set of vertices and
E is a set of edges (without parallel edges or loops).
• τ : V × E → {−1, 0, 1} is a function called the bidirection function, which assigns a
local orientation to each vertex-edge pair (v, e) as follows:
– τ (v, e) = 1: Edge e is directed towards vertex v.
– τ (v, e) = −1: Edge e is directed away from vertex v.
– τ (v, e) = 0: Vertex v is not incident to edge e.
The graph G is referred to as the underlying graph of B, and the function τ provides the
bidirected structure on G by assigning a direction at each endpoint of every edge in E.
This condition ensures that the hyperedge is balanced in terms of its local orientations.
This condition ensures that the superedge is balanced in terms of its local orientations.
Theorem 4.34. Any bidirected hypergraph can be transformed into a bidirected graph.
τ 0 (v, {v, e}) = τ (v, e), τ 0 (e, {v, e}) = −τ (v, e).
Verification:
• The sum of the bidirections at the endpoints of each edge {v, e} is zero:
Theorem 4.35. Any bidirected superhypergraph can be transformed into a bidirected hyper-
graph.
Verification:
• The bidirected hypergraph H 0 has vertices corresponding to the supervertices of H,
and hyperedges corresponding to the superedges.
• The local orientations in H 0 are preserved from H via τ 0 .
Thus, any bidirected superhypergraph can be transformed into a bidirected hypergraph by
considering supervertices as vertices and superedges as hyperedges.
Theorem 4.36. Any bidirected superhypergraph can be transformed into an undirected super-
hypergraph by removing the bidirections.
We also aim to explore extensions of these concepts, such as fuzzy bidirected graphs and
neutrosophic bidirected graphs, by integrating elements from fuzzy and neutrosophic graph
theory. While these ideas are still in the conceptual stage, we propose the following definitions
as a foundation. Further research into the mathematical structures of these graphs is expected
to advance in the future.
Theorem 4.40. Bidirected Fuzzy Graphs, Bidirected Neutrosophic Graphs, and Bidirected
Plithogenic Graphs are generalizations of Bidirected Graphs.
• If τ (v, e) = 0 for all v ∈ V and e ∈ E, the bidirection function does not influence the
structure of the graph. In this case, BP G reduces to P G, as the bidirection function
becomes irrelevant.
• All other components of BP G, including the vertex and edge attribute structures (DAF
and DCF), remain identical to those in P G.
Since BP G retains all the characteristics of P G and extends it with the bidirection function
τ , it follows that every Plithogenic Graph P G can be represented as a Bidirected Plithogenic
Graph BP G under appropriate conditions (τ (v, e) = 0 for all v and e).
Thus, Bidirected Plithogenic Graphs generalize Plithogenic Graphs.
Additionally, we aim to generalize above structures using Fuzzy and Neutrosophic principles
[169,170], examining their mathematical frameworks and applications, particularly in decision-
making contexts. Furthermore, we plan to extend the concept of the Soft Semihypergraph
by integrating ideas from Rough Graphs [41, 49, 96, 137, 196], Soft Expert Graphs [18, 58,
151, 194, 201], Hypersoft Graphs [73, 74, 148, 156–158], Superhypersoft Sets [83, 130, 179, 182],
TreeSoft Sets [50,139,180,181,183], Intersection Graphs [69,129], Vague Graphs [3,4,150,160],
Single-Valued Pentapartitioned Neutrosophic Graphs [48,72,98,99,147], Hesitant Fuzzy Graphs
[20, 84, 138, 142, 215], Infinite Graphs [53, 54, 56], Directed Graphs [24, 37, 103], Mixed Graphs
[64, 154, 155], and Superhypergraphs. This approach aims to facilitate a deeper investigation
and broader applicability of these advanced structures.
As an additional note, applications of the aforementioned graph classes extend beyond
decision-making, which is often explored in uncertain graphs, to promising advancements in
areas like superhypergraph neural networks, fuzzy hypergraph neural networks, neutrosophic
graph networks, and more. The authors hopes that research in these areas will gain momentum,
fostering further developments across these fields.
