Abstract
Graph theory has found many application area in science, engineering, and mathematics. In order to expand the application base, the notion of a graph was generalized to that of a hypergraph, that is, a set X of vertices together with a collection of subsets of X. In this chapter, we fuzzify the notion of a hypergraph and state some possible applications. The results are taken from [9,10,11,12,22].
