Book excerpt: Many researchers have been proposing various algorithms to unravel different types of fuzzy shortest path problems. There are many algorithms like Dijkstra’s, Bellman-Ford,Floyd-Warshall and kruskal’s etc. are existing for solving the shortest path problems. In this work a shortest path problem with interval valued neutrosophic numbers is investigated using the proposed algorithm. A* algorithm is extensively applied in pathfinding and graph traversal.Unlike the other algorithms mentioned above, A* algorithm entails heuristic function to uncover the cost of path that traverses through the particular state. In the structured work A* algorithm is applied to unravel the length of the shortest path by utilizing ranking function from the source node to the destination node. A* algorithm is executed by applying best first search with the help of this search, it greedily decides which vertex to investigate subsequently. A* is equally complete and optimal if an acceptable heuristic is concerned. The arc lengths in interval valued neutrosophic numbers are defuzzified using the score function. A numerical example is used to illustrate the proposed approach.
