Abstract
In this paper, we introduce certain types of fuzzy sets in a fuzzy graph including fuzzy dominating set, fuzzy minimal dominating set, fuzzy independent dominating set and fuzzy irredundant set. We describe these concepts with examples and develop the relationship between them. We also describe some interesting properties of fuzzy dominating set, fuzzy minimal dominating set, fuzzy independent dominating set and fuzzy irredundant set.
