Abstract
In this paper we have investigated and explored the realm of fuzzy graph in its relation to autocatalytic sets. A new concept namely fuzzy autocatalytic set have been defined. This relation has produced some results in the forms of theorems which have been proven. A clinical waste incineration process has been modeled using this new concept indicates to be more accurate than using crisp graph.
