The linear Diophantine fuzzy graph (LDFG) notion serves as a new mathematical approach for the ambiguity and uncertainty modeling in decision-making issues. An LDFG eliminates the strict limitations of various existing graphs. The energy concept in graph theory is one of the most attractive topics that is very important in biological and chemical sciences. The article aims at developing the notion of fuzzy graphs (FG) towards LDFGs, and, also, we extend the energy notion of an FG to the energy of an LDFG and use the concept of energy to model problems linked to the LDFG. To fulfill such a purpose, we make an LDFG and investigate the effectiveness of that part by calculating the concept of energy on this LDFG. We define the LDFG adjacency matrix (AM) concept and the energy of an LDFG. Also, we introduce the new Laplacian energy (LE) concept of an LDFG and investigate its properties. Finally, an application of the LDFG energy to find the most effective component in the hospital information system has been presented.
