Abstract :
Given a fuzzy subgroup $\mu$ of a group $G$, $x\rhd_uy$ if and only if $\mu(xy) < \mu(yx)$ defines a directed relation with an associated digraph $(G, \rhd_u)$. We consider $(\mu, \nu)$-homomorphisms $\varphi: (G, \mu)\to (H, \nu)$ where $\mu$ and $\nu$ are fuzzy subgroups of $G$ and $H$ respectively and the preservation of properties of the digraphs $(G, \rhd_u)$ several of which are also noted here, e.g., $(G, \rhd_u)$ is an anti-chain if and only if $\mu$ is a fuzzy normal subgroup of the group $G$.
