A VARIATION OF ZERO-DIVISOR GRAPHS
Journal Title: Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications - Year 2015, Vol 35, Issue 2
Abstract
In this paper, we define a new graph for a ring with unity by extending the definition of the usual ‘zero-divisor graph’. For a ring R with unity, Γ1(R) is defined to be the simple undirected graph having all non-zero elements of R as its vertices and two distinct vertices x, y are adjacent if and only if either xy = 0 or yx = 0 or x + y is a unit. We consider the conditions of connectedness and show that for a finite commutative ring R with unity, Γ1(R) is connected if and only if R is not isomorphic to Z3 or Zk2 (for any k ∈ N − {1}). Then we characterize the rings R for which Γ1(R) realizes some well-known classes of graphs, viz., complete graphs, star graphs, paths (i.e., Pn), or cycles (i.e., Cn). We then look at different graph-theoretical properties of the graph Γ1(F), where F is a finite field. We also find all possible Γ1(R) graphs with at most 6 vertices.

On the intersection graphs of ideals of direct product of rings
In this paper we first calculate the number of vertices and edges of the intersection graph of ideals of direct product of rings and fields. Then we study Eulerianity and Hamiltonicity in the intersection graph of ideals...
Relative determinant of a bilinear module
The aim of the paper is to generalize the (ultra-classical) notion of the determinant of a bilinear form to the class of bilinear forms on projective modules without assuming that the determinant bundle of the module is...
GENERALIZED DERIVATIONS WITH LEFT ANNIHILATOR CONDITIONS IN PRIME AND SEMIPRIME RINGS
Let R be a prime ring with its Utumi ring of quotients U, C = Z(U) be the extended centroid of R, H and G two generalized derivations of R, L a noncentral Lie ideal of R, I a nonzero ideal of R. The left annihilator of S...
ON A PERIODIC PART OF PSEUDO-BCI-ALGEBRAS
In the paper the connections between the set of some maximal elements of a pseudo-BCI-algebra and deductive systems are established. Using these facts, a periodic part of a pseudo-BCI-algebra is studied.
A Note on Additive Groups of Some Specific Torsion-Free Rings of Rank Three and Mixed Associative Rings
It is studied how rank two pure subgroups of a torsion-free Abelian group of rank three influences its structure and type set. In particular, the criterion for such a subgroup B to be a direct summand of a torsion-free A...
