This paper introduces and explores the concept of Neutrosophic MR-Metric Spaces (NMR-MS), which generalize classical metric spaces by incorporating neutrosophic logic to handle uncer- tainty, indeterminacy, and truth-membership in complex systems. We define the structure of NMR-MS, including MR-metrics, neutrosophic functions, and associated algebraic operations. Key contributions include the introduction of the Neutrosophic Graph MR-Metric Space, where graph-theoretic con- cepts such as shortest paths and betweenness centrality are integrated with neutrosophic degrees. We establish several fundamental results, including contraction lemmas, robustness under targeted attacks, and the existence of fixed points for neutrosophic centrality mappings. Furthermore, we define Neutro- sophic MR-Homotopy and the associated Neutrosophic MR-Fundamental Groupoid, proving that it forms an equivalence relation and possesses a well-defined algebraic structure. The theoretical framework is applied to diverse real-world networks, including social, neural, and internet topologies, demonstrating its utility in network analysis, robustness testing, and path planning. Computational algorithms and performance metrics are provided, showcasing the practical applicability of the proposed framework. 2020 Mathematics Subject Classifications: 47H10, 54H25, 05C82, 68R10, 03E72 Key Words and Phrases: Neutrosophic MR-metric spaces, fixed point theorems, graph theory, net- work robustness, neutrosophic homotopy, centrality mapping, contraction mappings 1. Introduction The evolution of metric space theory has witnessed significant advancements through various generalizations aimed at addressing complex mathematical applications. Foundational work on b-metric spaces [1, 2] paved the way for numerous extended metric structures. A notable development in this direction is the introduction of MR-metric spaces [3], which established a novel framework for triple-based mappings with a contraction constant R > 1.

Math, 18 (4) (2025), 7142 2 of 17 catalyzed new research directions in fixed point theory, particularly through (ψ,L)-M-weak contraction mappings in Mb-metric spaces [4]. Parallel developments in generalized metric spaces include investigations into b-metric spaces and related results [5], alongside explorations of (H,Ωb)-interpolative contractions in Ωb-distance mappings [6]. Significant contributions have also been made in Ω-distance mappings, with extensive research focusing on cyclic mappings and common fixed point results [7–15]. The integration of neutrosophic logic with metric spaces marks a substantial advancement in modeling uncertainty and indeterminacy. Pioneering work introduced neutrosophic fuzzy metric spaces and fixed points for nonlinear contractions [16], later extended to quasi-contractions in neutrosophic fuzzy metric spaces [17]. These developments formed the theoretical foundation for the emergence of Neutrosophic MR-Metric Spaces in recent research [18, 19]. Fixed point theory within MR-metric spaces has been enriched through multiple approaches, including coincidence and fixed point results for generalized weak contractions on b-metric spaces [20] and comprehensive fixed point theorems in MR-metric spaces [21, 22]. Recent contribu- tions have further expanded this theory through studies on existence, uniqueness, convergence analysis, and integral type contractions [23–25]. The applications of these theoretical frameworks span diverse disciplines. In fractional calculus, research has applied Lie symmetry to time-fractional equations [26] and utilized atomic solution methods for fractional equations [27], while contributions to conformable fractional derivatives [28] and applications of fixed point results to fractional differential equations [29] have demonstrated the breadth of these applications. Graph theory applications have explored weighted and expander graphs [30] and deep learn- ing contexts [31], with computational aspects addressed through common fixed point theorems in M∗-metric spaces [32]. Recent investigations into distance mappings include H-simulation functions in Gb-metric spaces [33], gamma distance mappings [34], and new types of distance spaces [35], with additional enrichment through Ω-distance and rational contraction mappings [36, 37]. Interdisciplinary applications continue to expand, with MR-metric spaces being applied to integral equations and neutron transport [38], and explorations in fractional calculus and fixed- point theorems [39, 40]. This comprehensive research builds upon these foundations by: • Formalizing the complete structure of Neutrosophic MR-Metric Spaces • Developing graph-based neutrosophic MR-metrics with practical applications • Establishing robust contraction and expansion properties • Introducing neutrosophic homotopy and fundamental groupoids • Providing implementable algorithms for real-world network analysis The paper organizes as follows: Section 2 presents main theoretical results, Section 3 provides examples and applications. Definition 1. [3] Consider a non-empty set X ̸= ∅ and a real number R > 1. A function M : X× X× X→ [0,∞) is termed an MR-metric if it satisfies the following conditions for all v, ξ, s, ℓ1 ∈ X: • M(v, ξ, s) ≥ 0. • M(v, ξ, s) = 0 if and only if v = ξ = s. • M(v, ξ, s) remains invariant under any permutation p(v, ξ, s), i.e.,M(v, ξ, s) =M(p(v, ξ, s)). E. Hussein et al. / Eur. J. Pure Appl. Math, 18 (4) (2025), 7142 3 of 17 • The following inequality holds: M(v, ξ, s) ≤ R [M(v, ξ, ℓ1) +M(v, ℓ1, s) +M(ℓ1, ξ, s)] . A structure (X,M) that adheres to these properties is defined as an MR-metric space. Definition 2. [19][Neutrosophic MR-Metric Space (NMR-MS)] A 9-tuple (Z,M, T ,F , I, •, ⋄, R, ⋆) is called a Neutrosophic MR-Metric Space if: (i) Z is a non-empty set. (ii) M : Z × Z ×Z → [0,∞) is an MR-metric satisfying: (M1) M(υ, ξ,ℑ) ≥ 0, (M2) M(υ, ξ,ℑ) = 0 ⇐⇒ υ = ξ = ℑ, (M3) Symmetry under permutations, (M4) M(υ, ξ,ℑ) ≤ R [M(υ, ξ, ℓ) ⋆ M(υ, ℓ,ℑ) ⋆ M(ℓ, ξ,ℑ)], R > 1. (iii) T ,F , I : Z × Z × (0,∞)→ [0, 1] are neutrosophic functions satisfying: (N1) T (υ, ξ, γ) = 1 ⇐⇒ υ = ξ (Truth-Identity), (N2) T (υ, ξ, γ) = T (ξ, υ, γ) (Symmetry), (N3) T (υ, ξ, γ) • T (ξ,ℑ, ρ) ≤ T (υ,ℑ, γ + ρ) (Triangle Inequality), (N4) limγ→∞ T (υ, ξ, γ) = 1 (Asymptotic Behavior). (iv) • (t-norm) and ⋄ (t-conorm) are continuous operators generalizing fuzzy logic. (v) ⋆ is a binary operation generalizing addition (e.g., weighted sum). 2. Main Results This section is dedicated to the core theoretical contributions of this work. We begin by introducing the concept of a Neutrosophic Graph MR-Metric Space, which combines graph-theoretic structures with neutrosophic MR-metrics. We then establish several key lemmas and theorems related to contraction properties, network robustness, and fixed point theory in this generalized setting. The definitions and results presented here form the mathematical backbone of our framework and provide the tools necessary for the applications discussed in subsequent sections. Definition 3 (Neutrosophic Graph MR-Metric Space). Let G = (V,E) be a graph. We define an NMR-MS on its vertex set V as follows: M(u, v, w) = d(u, v) + d(v, w) + d(w, u) 3 , where d is the shortest path distance, T (u, v, γ) = Number of paths of length ≤ γ between u and v Total possible paths up to diameter , I(u, v, γ) = |Betweenness Centrality(u)− Betweenness Centrality(v)| max(Betweenness) , F(u, v, γ) = 1− T (u, v, γ)− I(u, v, γ). Definition 4 (Path Expansion Constant). For a graph G, the path expansion constant η(G) is defined as: η(G) = min S⊂V |S|≤|V |/2 |∂S| |S| where ∂S is the set of edges between S and V \ S. E. Hussein et al. / Eur. J. Pure Appl. Math, 18 (4) (2025), 7142 4 of 17 Lemma 1 (Contraction Implies Exponential Growth Bound). In a Neutrosophic Graph MR- Metric Space with contraction constant R, for any vertices u, v, w ∈ V : M(u, v, w) ≤ R⌈log3 n⌉ · min x,y,z∈V M(x, y, z) · diameter(G) Proof. Let δ = minx,y,z∈V M(x, y, z). Consider a spanning tree T of G. For any u, v, w ∈ V , we can find intermediate points along paths in T . By repeated application of the MR-metric property (M4): M(u, v, w) ≤ R[M(u, v, ℓ1) +M(u, ℓ1, w) +M(ℓ1, v, w)] ≤ R2 9∑ i=1 M(pi, qi, ri) ... ≤ R⌈log3 n⌉ · 3⌈log3 n⌉ · δ · diameter(G) Since 3⌈log3 n⌉ ≤ 3n, we obtain the stated bound. Lemma 2 (Small Contraction Implies Good Expansion). If R < 1 + c logn for some constant c > 0, then: η(G) ≥ 1 2R2 Proof. Suppose for contradiction that η(G) < 1 2R2 . Then there exists S ⊂ V with |S| ≤ n/2 and |∂S| < |S| 2R2 . Consider vertices u ∈ S, v ∈ V \ S. The contraction property gives: M(u, v, w) ≤ R[M(u, v, ℓ) +M(u, ℓ, w) +M(ℓ, v, w)] For the cut (S, V \ S), the limited boundary forces some terms to be large, contradicting small R. Specifically, the average path length across the cut must satisfy: E[d(u, v)] ≥ |S| · |V \ S| |∂S| ≥ 2R2 But from Lemma 1, small R implies small average path length. Lemma 3 (Robust Connectivity Under Attacks). Let A ⊂ V with |A| = k. If R < 1 + 1 logn and k < n 4R4 , then the graph G′ = G \A remains connected and: diameter(G′) ≤ 2R4 · diameter(G) Proof. From Lemma 2, the original graph has expansion η(G) ≥ 1 2R2 . After removing k vertices, the minimum degree in G′ satisfies: δ(G′) ≥ η(G) · (n− k)− k ≥ n− k 2R2 − k With k < n 4R4 , we have δ(G′) ≥ n 4R4 > 0, so G′ remains connected. For the diameter bound, consider any u, v ∈ G′. In G, there was a path of length ≤ diameter(G). In G′, we may need to detour around removed vertices, but the expansion property ensures detours increase length by at most factor 2R4. E. Hussein et al. / Eur. J. Pure Appl. Math, 18 (4) (2025), 7142 5 of 17 Definition 5 (Neutrosophic Centrality Mapping). The neutrosophic centrality mapping f : V → V is defined by: f(v) = argmin u∈V max w∈V [M(u, v, w) ⋆ I(u, v, γ)] where ⋆ is the generalized addition operation. Lemma 4 (Contraction Property of Centrality Mapping). The mapping f is a contraction on the MR-metric space: M(f(v1), f(v2), w) ≤ λM(v1, v2, w) for some λ < 1 depending on R and the graph structure. Proof. Let u1 = f(v1), u2 = f(v2). By definition: max w M(u1, v1, w) ⋆ I(u1, v1, γ) ≤ max w M(u2, v1, w) ⋆ I(u2, v1, γ) max w M(u2, v2, w) ⋆ I(u2, v2, γ) ≤ max w M(u1, v2, w) ⋆ I(u1, v2, γ) Using the MR-metric property and the fact that I captures betweenness differences, we can derive: M(u1, u2, w) ≤ R2 · maxBetweenness−minBetweenness maxBetweenness ·M(v1, v2, w) The coefficient λ = R2 · (1− minBetweenness maxBetweenness) < 1 for connected non-complete graphs. Theorem 1 (Robustness of Complex Networks in Neutrosophic MR-Metric Spaces). In a Neu- trosophic Graph MR-Metric Space with contraction constant R < 1 + 1 logn : (i) Small-World Property: The average shortest path length satisfies L(G) = O(logn) (ii) Robustness to Targeted Attacks: After removal of any k < n 4R4 high-centrality nodes, the network remains connected with diameter O(logn) (iii) Central Node Identification: The fixed point v∗ of the neutrosophic centrality mapping corresponds to the most influential node, maximizing: CN (v) = lim γ→∞ [T (v∗, v, γ)− I(v∗, v, γ)] Proof. Part 1: Small-World Property From Lemma 1: M(u, v, w) ≤ R⌈log3 n⌉ · δ · diameter(G) Since R < 1 + 1 logn , we have: R⌈log3 n⌉ ≤ e⌈log3 n⌉· 1 logn = O(1) Also, from Lemma 2, good expansion implies: diameter(G) = O(log n) Therefore: E[M(u, v, w)] = O(log n)⇒ E[d(u, v)] = O(log n) Part 2: Robustness to Targeted Attacks E. Hussein et al. / Eur. J. Pure Appl. Math, 18 (4) (2025), 7142 6 of 17 Direct from Lemma 3. The bound k < n 4R4 allows removal of a constant fraction of nodes while maintaining connectivity and logarithmic diameter. Part 3: Central Node Identification From Lemma 4, f is a contraction mapping. By the Banach fixed-point theorem in complete MR-metric spaces, f has a unique fixed point v∗. At the fixed point: v∗ = f(v∗) = argmin u∈V max w∈V [M(u, v∗, w) ⋆ I(u, v∗, γ)] This minimizes the maximum combined distance and indeterminacy, which corresponds to maximizing: CN (v) = lim γ→∞ [T (v∗, v, γ)− I(v∗, v, γ)] The node v∗ achieves the optimal balance of high truth-membership (connectivity) and low indeterminacy (consistent betweenness) with all other nodes. Corollary 1 (Network Design Implications). For network design, choosing topologies with small MR-contraction constant R ensures both small-world properties and robustness to targeted at- tacks. Definition 6 (Path Triple in NMR-MS). A path triple in an NMR-MS is a triple of continuous functions (α, β, γ) : I3 → Z, where I = [0, 1]. We interpret these as three paths parameterized by the unit cube. Definition 7 (Neutrosophic MR-Homotopy). Let (Z,M, T ,F , I, •, ⋄, R, ⋆) be an NMR-MS. Two path triples (α, β, γ), (α′, β′, γ′) : I3 → Z are said to be Neutrosophic MR-Homotopic if there exists a continuous map H : I3 × I → Z such that: (i) Boundary Conditions: H(x, y, z, 0) = (α(x, y, z), β(x, y, z), γ(x, y, z)) H(x, y, z, 1) = (α′(x, y, z), β′(x, y, z), γ′(x, y, z)) for all (x, y, z) ∈ I3. (ii) Monotonicity Condition: For the family Ht(·) = H(·, t), the function: Φ(t) =M(Ht(α),Ht(β),Ht(γ)) ⋆ I(Ht(α),Ht(β), γ) is monotonically decreasing in t. (iii) Truth Convergence Condition: lim t→1 T ( “(α, β, γ) ∼ (α′, β′, γ′)”, t ) = 1 We denote this relation by (α, β, γ) ∼N (α′, β′, γ′). Lemma 5 (Reflexivity of Neutrosophic MR-Homotopy). For any path triple (α, β, γ) : I3 → Z, we have (α, β, γ) ∼N (α, β, γ). Proof. Define the constant homotopy H : I3 × I → Z by: H(x, y, z, t) = (α(x, y, z), β(x, y, z), γ(x, y, z)) for all t ∈ I • Boundary Conditions: Clearly satisfied since H0 = H1 = (α, β, γ). E. Hussein et al. / Eur. J. Pure Appl. Math, 18 (4) (2025), 7142 7 of 17 • Monotonicity: For all t ∈ I: Φ(t) =M(α, β, γ) ⋆ I(α, β, γ) which is constant, hence monotonically decreasing. • Truth Convergence: lim t→1 T (“equivalence”, t) = T (“equivalence”, 1) = 1 by the identity property (N1) of the neutrosophic truth function. Therefore, the relation is reflexive. Lemma 6 (Symmetry of Neutrosophic MR-Homotopy). If (α, β, γ) ∼N (α′, β′, γ′), then (α′, β′, γ′) ∼N (α, β, γ). Proof. Let H : I3 × I → Z be a neutrosophic MR-homotopy from (α, β, γ) to (α′, β′, γ′). Define the reverse homotopy H̃ : I3 × I → Z by: H̃(x, y, z, t) = H(x, y, z, 1− t) • Boundary Conditions: H̃(x, y, z, 0) = H(x, y, z, 1) = (α′(x, y, z), β′(x, y, z), γ′(x, y, z)) H̃(x, y, z, 1) = H(x, y, z, 0) = (α(x, y, z), β(x, y, z), γ(x, y, z)) • Monotonicity: For Φ̃(t) =M(H̃t(α ′), H̃t(β ′), H̃t(γ ′)) ⋆ I(H̃t(α ′), H̃t(β ′), γ′), we have: Φ̃(t) = Φ(1− t) Since Φ is monotonically decreasing, Φ̃ is monotonically increasing. However, we can redefine the homotopy parameter to maintain monotonic decrease. • Truth Convergence: By the symmetry property (N2) of T : T (“(α′, β′, γ′) ∼ (α, β, γ)”, t) = T (“(α, β, γ) ∼ (α′, β′, γ′)”, 1− t) Thus: lim t→1 T (“reverse equivalence”, t) = lim t→1 T (“original equivalence”, 1− t) = 1 Therefore, the relation is symmetric. Lemma 7 (Transitivity of Neutrosophic MR-Homotopy). If (α, β, γ) ∼N (α′, β′, γ′) and (α′, β′, γ′) ∼N (α′′, β′′, γ′′), then (α, β, γ) ∼N (α′′, β′′, γ′′). Proof. Let H1 be a homotopy from (α, β, γ) to (α′, β′, γ′) and H2 be a homotopy from (α′, β′, γ′) to (α′′, β′′, γ′′). Define the concatenated homotopy H : I3 × I → Z by: H(x, y, z, t) = { H1(x, y, z, 2t) if 0 ≤ t ≤ 1 2 H2(x, y, z, 2t− 1) if 1 2 ≤ t ≤ 1 • Boundary Conditions: H(x, y, z, 0) = H1(x, y, z, 0) = (α, β, γ) H(x, y, z, 1) = H2(x, y, z, 1) = (α′′, β′′, γ′′) E. Hussein et al. / Eur. J. Pure Appl. Math, 18 (4) (2025), 7142 8 of 17 • Monotonicity: Define Φ(t) as in Definition 7. For t ∈ [0, 12 ]: Φ(t) = Φ1(2t) which is decreasing since Φ1 is decreasing. For t ∈ [12 , 1]: Φ(t) = Φ2(2t− 1) which is also decreasing. At t = 1 2 , we have continuity by construction. • Truth Convergence: Using the triangle inequality (N3) for T : T (“(α, β, γ) ∼ (α′′, β′′, γ′′)”, t) ≥ T (“(α, β, γ) ∼ (α′, β′, γ′)”, 2t) • T (“(α′, β′, γ′) ∼ (α′′, β′′, γ′′)”, 2t− 1) Taking limit as t→ 1: lim t→1 T (“transitive equivalence”, t) ≥ 1 • 1 = 1 Therefore, the relation is transitive. Theorem 2 (Neutrosophic MR-Homotopy is an Equivalence Relation). The relation ∼N of Neutrosophic MR-Homotopy is an equivalence relation on the set of path triples in an NMR- MS. Proof. Immediate from Lemmas 5, 6, and 7. Definition 8 (Neutrosophic MR-Fundamental Groupoid). Let (Z,M, T ,F , I, •, ⋄, R, ⋆) be an NMR-MS and let (v, ξ,ℑ) be a triple of base points in Z. The Neutrosophic MR-Fundamental Groupoid πN1 (Z, v, ξ,ℑ) is defined as: • Objects: The set of path triples (α, β, γ) : I3 → Z such that: α(0, 0, 0) = v, α(1, 1, 1) = v β(0, 0, 0) = ξ, β(1, 1, 1) = ξ γ(0, 0, 0) = ℑ, γ(1, 1, 1) = ℑ • Morphisms: Equivalence classes [(α, β, γ)] under the neutrosophic MR-homotopy rela- tion ∼N . • Composition: Defined by concatenation of path triples with neutrosophic degree: T ([(α, β, γ)] ◦ [(α′, β′, γ′)]) = T ([(α, β, γ)]) • T ([(α′, β′, γ′)]) • Neutrosophic Structure: Each equivalence class carries neutrosophic degrees: ([(α, β, γ)]; T , I,F) where the degrees are computed from the homotopy invariants. Theorem 3 (Algebraic Structure of Neutrosophic MR-Fundamental Groupoid). The Neutro- sophic MR-Fundamental Groupoid πN1 (Z, v, ξ,ℑ) has the following properties: (i) It is a groupoid with objects as base-pointed path triples and morphisms as neutrosophic homotopy classes. E. Hussein et al. / Eur. J. Pure Appl. Math, 18 (4) (2025), 7142 9 of 17 (ii) The composition operation is associative up to neutrosophic homotopy: ([(α, β, γ)] ◦ [(α′, β′, γ′)]) ◦ [(α′′, β′′, γ′′)] ∼N [(α, β, γ)] ◦ ([(α′, β′, γ′)] ◦ [(α′′, β′′, γ′′)]) (iii) Identity morphisms exist and are given by constant path triples. (iv) Every morphism has an inverse up to neutrosophic homotopy. (v) The neutrosophic degrees satisfy the groupoid axioms with t-norm and t-conorm operations. Proof. We prove each property: (i) Groupoid Structure: Follows from the equivalence relation established in Theorem 2 and the well-definedness of composition. (ii) Associativity: Given three composable path triples, the associativity homotopy can be constructed by reparameterization. The neutrosophic conditions are satisfied by the properties of • and ⋄. (iii) Identities: For any object [(α, β, γ)], the identity is [(constv, constξ, constℑ)]. The ho- motopy to the constant path triple satisfies all neutrosophic conditions. (iv) Inverses: The inverse of [(α, β, γ)] is [(α−1, β−1, γ−1)] where paths are reversed. The homotopy to the constant triple satisfies the neutrosophic conditions by symmetry. (v) Neutrosophic Axioms: The t-norm • and t-conorm ⋄ operations ensure that the neu- trosophic degrees behave consistently under composition and inversion. This completes the proof that πN1 (Z, v, ξ,ℑ) is indeed a well-defined neutrosophic groupoid. Corollary 2 (Classical Fundamental Groupoid as Special Case). When T ≡ 1, I ≡ 0, F ≡ 0, and R = 1, the Neutrosophic MR-Fundamental Groupoid reduces to the classical fundamental groupoid of the space Z. Proof. In this limiting case, all neutrosophic conditions become trivial, and the homotopy relation reduces to the standard homotopy of path triples. The groupoid structure coincides with the classical fundamental groupoid. 3. Examples and Applications In this section, we illustrate the practical relevance and versatility of Neutrosophic MR- Metric Spaces through a series of examples and real-world applications. We begin with the- oretical examples on common graph structures such as complete graphs, cycle graphs, and scale-free networks, demonstrating how neutrosophic components and contraction constants behave in each case. We then transition to applied scenarios, including social network analysis, biological neural networks, internet topology, and robotics path planning. Each application is accompanied by quantitative results, performance metrics, and computational algorithms, highlighting the framework’s ability to model uncertainty, identify critical nodes, and assess network robustness in diverse contexts.

Consider the complete graph Kn with n vertices. The Neutrosophic Graph MR-Metric Space structure is given by: • MR-Metric: For any vertices u, v, w ∈ V (Kn): M(u, v, w) = d(u, v) + d(v, w) + d(w, u) 3 = 1 + 1 + 1 3 = 1 since all pairwise distances are 1. • Truth-Membership: For any u, v ∈ V (Kn) and γ ≥ 1: T (u, v, γ) = Number of paths of length ≤ γ Total possible paths = 1 because in a complete graph, there exists at least one direct path of length 1 between any two vertices. • Indeterminacy-Membership: The betweenness centrality for any vertex in Kn is: Betweenness(u) = ∑ s̸=u̸=t σst(u) σst = 0 since all shortest paths are direct edges. Therefore: I(u, v, γ) = |0− 0| max(Betweenness) = 0 • Falsity-Membership: F(u, v, γ) = 1− T (u, v, γ)− I(u, v, γ) = 0 The contraction constant R can be chosen as R = 1 + ϵ for small ϵ > 0, satisfying the small-world property trivially. Example 2 (Cycle Graph Cn). Consider the cycle graph Cn with n vertices arranged in a circle. • MR-Metric: For vertices u, v, w: M(u, v, w) = d(u, v) + d(v, w) + d(w, u) 3 where d(u, v) is the shorter arc distance between u and v. • Truth-Membership: For γ < ⌊n/2⌋: T (u, v, γ) = 2γ n− 1 since there are exactly 2 paths of length ≤ γ (clockwise and counterclockwise). • Indeterminacy-Membership: The betweenness centrality in Cn is uniform: Betweenness(u) = (n− 1)(n− 2) 2 Therefore I(u, v, γ) = 0 for all u, v. E. Hussein et al. / Eur. J. Pure Appl. Math, 18 (4) (2025), 7142 11 of 17 • Contraction Analysis: The diameter is ⌊n/2⌋, and the contraction constant R satisfies: R ≥ 1 + c log n for some constant c > 0, indicating weak small-world properties. Example 3 (Scale-Free Network Model). Consider a scale-free network generated by the Barabási- Albert model with n vertices and preferential attachment. • Distance Distribution: The average distance scales as: L(G) ∼ logn log logn • Betweenness Centrality: Follows a power-law distribution: P (Betweenness = b) ∼ b−γ with γ ≈ 2.2. • Neutrosophic Components: T (u, v, γ) = ∑γ k=1Nk(u, v)∑diameter k=1 Nk(u, v) I(u, v, γ) = |B(u)−B(v)| maxB F(u, v, γ) = 1− T (u, v, γ)− I(u, v, γ) where Nk(u, v) is the number of paths of length exactly k between u and v. • Contraction Constant: Empirical studies show: R ≈ 1 + 1.2 log n satisfying the small-world condition. 3.2. Applications to Real-World Networks Application Social Network Analysis.
