Abstract
The importance of symmetry in graph theory has always been significant, but in recent years, it has become much more so in a number of subfields, including but not limited to domination theory, topological indices, Gromov hyperbolic graphs, and the metric dimension of graphs. The purpose of this monograph is to initiate the idea of a multi polar q-rung orthopair fuzzy graphs (m- as a fusion of multi polar fuzzy graphs and q-rung orthopair fuzzy graphs. Moreover, for a vertex of multi polar q-rung orthopair fuzzy graphs, the degree and total degree of the vertex are defined. Then, some product operations, inclusive of direct, Cartesian, semi strong, strong lexicographic products, and the union of multi polar q-rung orthopair fuzzy graphs (m-, are obtained. Also, at first we define some degree based fuzzy topological indices of m-. Then, we compute Zareb indices of the first and second kind, Randic indices, and harmonic index of a m-.

1. Introduction
The theory of a fuzzy subset of a set was put forward in 1965 by Zadeh [1]. He generalized crisp set by providing membership grades to each member of the set from the interval . Since than, the fuzzy set theory has developed into a robust discipline of research in different fields inclusive of graph theory, social science, decision making, medical field, management, artificial intelligence and engineering. The technique that offers coherence in the ranking of alternatives under multiple criterion is familiar as Multi criteria decision making (MCDM). Through these processes decision makers provides a feasible decision while considering a set multiple criteria. To fulfil their requirements and pursue an optimal alternative, this technique helps them in the hierarchy of short listed alternatives. Being inspired by the idea of bi-polar fuzzy sets which was established by Zhang [2,3], Chen et al. [4] proposed an augmentation of fuzzy set known as m-polar fuzzy set. In an m-polar fuzzy set the assessment of the membership grade of a member with m different attributes lies in and all its respective membership grades are captured by following the same procedure. He indicated that 2-polar fuzzy sets and bipolar fuzzy sets are cryptographic mathematical ideas and that can acquire compactly one from the corresponding one [4]. In real world problems the data are sporadically collected from i agents this is the concept behind “multipolar information”. For example, in neurobiology, a lot of information is gathered by multi-polar neurons from other neurons in the brain. Some characteristics of m-polar fuzzy sets and several algebraic operations were introduced by Naeem et al. [5]. Multi-polar technology is designed to meet the needs of wide-ranging systems in information technology. In the last decades, the focus of many researchers has been shifted to imperfect, uncertain and vague information related problems. With the intention of dealing with such problems, Atanassov [6] put forward an augmentation of the fuzzy set by virtue of the membership and the non-membership functions, familiar as intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS). Yager [7] established the notion of Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) as an extended form of Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy set. Subtraction and division over Pythagorean fuzzy numbers are presented by Peng [8]. He also explored their characteristics such as boundedness, idempotency and monotonicity. Hashmi and Riaz [9] introduced an innovative idea of Pythagorean m-polar fuzzy sets and a few fundamental operations on these sets. In 2019, Hashmi [10] expressed the concept of m-polar neutrosophic set. Yager [11] in established the concept of q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFS), which is abstraction of (IFS) and (PFS). For the q-ROFSs, the membership and non-membership function need to fulfil the following condition where and , here the span of information expression is determined by parameter q. The span of information expression becomes larger as q increases. q-ROFSs came up with more flexibility to make assessments with reference to membership and non-membership functions as in contrast with IFSs and PFSs. Ali [12] studied the uncertainty index which depends on the orbit where the point () is situated. In 2021, Riaz et al. [13], introduced a hybrid model of the m-polar fuzzy set and q-rung orthopair fuzzy set, familiar as m-polar q-rung orthopair fuzzy set. Toward uncertainty, a q-ROmPFS is more elastic and superior approach as compared with the prior approaches of intuitionistic m-polar fuzzy sets and Phythagorean m-polar fuzzy sets.
Graphs are diagrammatical representations of decision making problems. By utilizing this convenient appliance vertices and edges are used to demonstrate the decision-making objects and their relationships. In 1973, Kaufmann [14] initiated the rudimentary notion of fuzzy graph. Some advanced concepts of fuzzy graphs were discovered by Rosenfeld [15] in 1975. Rosenfeld also discussed the fuzzy relations between fuzzy sets. Bhattacharya [16] defined certain concepts of fuzzy cut vertices and fuzzy bridges with reference to connectivity. Mordeson and Nair [17] explored a number of new ideas of fuzzy graphs. Nagoorani and Latha [18,19] investigated irregular fuzzy graphs and degree and order of intuitionistic fuzzy graphs. Many new ideas, comprising of bipolar fuzzy graphs, irregular bipolar fuzzy graphs, bipolar fuzzy digraph in decision support system, m-polar fuzzy graphs, m-polar fuzzy line graphs and certain metrics in m-polar fuzzy graphs were established by Akram et al. [20,21,22,23,24,25,26]. With different representation, numerous different types of graphs have been initiated for decision-making information, such as Pythagorean fuzzy graph [27] and single-valued neutrosophic graphs [28]. In 2014 Samanta [29] introduced m-step neighbourhood graph which is generalization of fuzzy competition graph. Based on q-ROFSs, a new form of graph has been created by Habib et al. [30] in which is named as q-rung orthopair fuzzy graph (q-ROFG). Rashmanlou and others in [31,32,33,34] added some interesting results to generalized fuzzy graphs.
Product operations of graphs are large and essential part of graph theory. Mordeson and Peng [35,36] defined a number of product operations on fuzzy graphs. Later, for different kinds of product operations of fuzzy graphs, the degree of the vertices was obtained by Nirmala in 2012 [37]. Sahoo and Pal [38,39] defined product operations on IFGs and also estimated the degree of vertex in IFGs. The number of product operations on fuzzy hypergraphs were introduced by Gong and Wang [38]. On interval-valued fuzzy graphs Rashmanlou et al. [40] established product operations and degree of a vertex for these graphs was also investigated. Single-valued neutrosophic graphs SVNGs were initiated by Naz et al. [28] in the scenario of multi-criteria decision-making, also several product operations on SVNGs were obtained. Latterly, Akram et al. [27] explored product operations for Pythagorean fuzzy graphs and for a vertex in PFGs the degree and total degree were defined. In 2019, Songyi et al. [41] defined product operations on q-ROPFGs.
In mathematical chemistry its topology branch is known as chemical graph theory which deals with the combination of graph theory and chemistry. For a chemical phenomena we applied graph theory to its mathematical model in chemical graph theory. The graph invariant of a graph which is a numerical parameter is known as a topological index as the topology of the graph is characterized with the help of this numeric value. Topological indices are utilized in the advancement of (QSAR) Quantative Structure Activity Relationships. These indices play important role to demonstrate the properties of molecules or biological activities which are correlated with their chemical structure. Several indices were initiated due to their application in chemistry such as Zagreb indices, Randic, Harmonic and Gutman indices but the first developed topological index is the Wiener index or Wiener number. In It was Xu [42] who introduced the application of fuzzy graph in chemical sciences. In 2019, Mordeson et al. [43] defined connectivity index and Wiener index in fuzzy graphs. Naeem [44] developed some connectivity indices in the context of IFG in 2021. He introduced two kinds of connectivity index and average connectivity index in the environment of IFGs. Kalathian et al. [45] developed fuzzy Zagreb indices of first and second kind, fuzzy Randic index and fuzzy Harmonic index. Some topological indices for intuitionistic fuzzy graph were presented by Dinar et al. [46] in 2023.

6. Some Topological Indices for Multi Polar q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Graphs
The physicochemical properties of molecular structures are well described with a numeric value which is known as Topological index. Topological indices of a graph have a wide range of implication in network design, theoretical chemistry, data transmission, etc. In fuzzy graphs these topological indices play very important role and have thorough implications. We named them modified topological indices as these are new in fuzzy graphs. In Kalathian et al. [45] established several toplogical indices of fuzzy graphs inclusive of Zagreb indices of two kinds, Randic index, and Harmonic index. Further these indices are cumputed for IFG by Dinar et al. [46] in 2023. Firstly in this part of the monograph we introduce the topological indices of multi polar q-rung fuzzy graphs and then computed these indices in an example.

If two m- and are isomorphic to each other, then these graphs have equal topological indices values.
Proof.
Let and be two isomorphic m- Then there we have an identity function, for every there exist as well as for each there exist such that for vertices and edges of each membership value coincides with the values of graph . Therefore, we conclude that, with same membership values for equal collection of vertices and edges the graph structures may differ but there topological indices values are equal. □

7. Conclusions
In this monograph we have demonstrated several rudimentary operations on m- together with their essential results. Firstly, for a vertex in m- we have defined the degree of vertex then we calculated its total degree. For product operations on m- these degrees permit to comprehend their characteristics. Secondly, product operations on m- inclusive direct, Cartesian, semi-strong, strong and lexicographic products, are obtained. Thirdly, using degree and total degree of vertex we have defined some general theorems under the obtained product operations on m-. More specifically, in product operations on m- the relationship between the degree and total degree of a vertex and the collection of adjoining vertices is analyzed with the help of these theorems. Finally, we have defined some degree based topological indices for m- and calculated these indices in an example. Due to vast range of implementation in various fields of sciences such as molecular science, medication, computer science, etc., the utilization of topological indices in fuzzy graphs are obtaining attraction. We can define and calculate already existed different topological indices for m-. In our upcoming work we can extend the application of m- to chemical structures.
