A vague graph is a generalized structure of a fuzzy graph that gives more precision, flexibility and compatibility to a system when compared with systems that are designed using fuzzy graphs. In this paper, vague competition graph and m-step competition graphs related to a vague graph are introduced. Likewise, some interesting theorems on them, which are related to the independent strong edges of the vague competition graphs are investigated.
