Zero-divisor graphs of reduced Rickart *-rings
Journal Title: Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 37, Issue 1
Abstract
For a ring A with an involution ∗, the zero-divisor graph of A, Γ∗ (A), is the graph whose vertices are the nonzero left zero-divisors in A such that distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy∗ = 0. In this paper, we study the zero-divisor graph of a Rickart ∗-ring having no nonzero nilpotent element. The distance, diameter, and cycles of Γ∗ (A) are characterized in terms of the collection of prime strict ideals of A. In fact, we prove that the clique number of Γ∗ (A) coincides with the cellularity of the hullkernel topological space Σ(A) of the set of prime strict ideals of A, where cellularity of the topological space is the smallest cardinal number m such that every family of pairwise disjoint non-empty open subsets of the space have cardinality at most m.

Filters of lattices with respect to a congruence
Some properties of filters on a lattice L are studied with respect to a congruence on L. The notion of a θ-filter of L is introduced and these filters are then characterized in terms of classes of θ. For distributive L,...
QUADRATIC APPROXIMATION OF GENERALIZED TRIBONACCI SEQUENCES
In this paper, we give quadratic approximation of generalized Tribonacci sequence {Vn}n≥0 defined by Vn = rVn−1 + sVn−2 + tVn−3 (n ≥ 3) and use this result to give the matrix form of the n-th power of a companion matrix...
SYMMETRIC BI-DERIVATIONS IN ALMOST DISTRIBUTIVE LATTICES
In this paper, we introduce the concept of symmetric bi-derivation in an Almost Distributive Lattice (ADL) and derive some important properties of symmetric bi-derivations in ADLs.
CODES OVER HYPERFIELDS
In this paper, we define linear codes and cyclic codes over a finite Krasner hyperfield and we characterize these codes by their generator matrices and parity check matrices. We also demonstrate that codes over finite Kr...
