Abstract
The shortest path problem is an important, classical network optimization problem which has a wide range of application in various fields. This paper proposes to find the shortest path in an intuitionistic fuzzy weighted graph with nodes remaining crisp and links remaining crisp but the edge weight will be an Intuitionistic fuzzy number. An existing algorithm is proposed for finding the shortest path length. Finally illustrative numerical examples are given to demonstrate the proposed approach

1. Introduction
In network problems the weight of the edge in a shortest path problem is supposed to be real numbers, but in most real world problems was the length of the network which represents the time or cost. Fuzzy set theory proposed by Zadeh L.A [1], The fuzzy shortest path problem was introduced by Dubois and Prade [2]. Klin C.M discussed about the fuzzy shortest path [4]. Hyung LK, Song YS, [7] Lee KM., discussed the Similarity Measure between Fuzzy Sets and elements Yao and Lin [10]developed two types of fuzzy shortest path network problem where the first type of fuzzy shortest path problem uses triangular fuzzy numbers and the second type uses level.
1 ,1 interval valued fuzzy numbers. The main result emerging from their study was that the shortest path in the fuzzy sense corresponds to the actual path in the network, and the fuzzy shortest path problem is an extension of the crisp case. Chuang T.N., Kung J.Y.[13] proposed a new algorithm for the discrete fuzzy shortest path problem in a network. L. Sujatha and S. Elizabeth [20,21] found the fuzzy shortest path problem based on Index ranking. In this paper they defined acceptability index, convex index and total integral index using this they proposed many algorithms and found the shortest distance. P.Jayagowri, Dr.G.Geetharamani,[23] discussed, various approaches to solving network problems using TLR intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. This paper is organized as follows; In Section 2 provides the preliminary concepts required for analysis and definitions in fuzzy set theory used throughout the paper, and some new indices and -cut interval for LR Trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are introduced. Section 4 gives proposed algorithms based on the indices defined in section2. Section 5 showcases the proposed algorithm and explains its functions. In section 6 some conclusions are drawn.
