Representations of Graphs by Rings

نویسنده

چکیده

A graph is representable by a ring if its vertices can be labeled with distinct ring elements so the difference of the labels is a unit in the ring if and only if the vertices are adjacent. We explore representation by rings composed of the direct products of cyclic rings, including an upper bound on the representation number for a graph with a fixed number of vertices and representation numbers for various families of graphs.

On zero-divisor graphs of quotient rings and complemented zero-divisor graphs

For an arbitrary ring $R$, the zero-divisor graph of $R$, denoted by $Gamma (R)$, is an undirected simple graph that its vertices are all nonzero zero-divisors of $R$ in which any two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if either $xy=0$ or $yx=0$. It is well-known that for any commutative ring $R$, $Gamma (R) cong Gamma (T(R))$ where $T(R)$ is the (total) quotient ring of $R$. In this...

On the commuting graph of some non-commutative rings with unity

‎‎Let $R$ be a non-commutative ring with unity‎. ‎The commuting graph‎ of $R$ denoted by $Gamma(R)$‎, ‎is a graph with a vertex set‎ ‎$Rsetminus Z(R)$ and two vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent if and only if‎ $ab=ba$‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we investigate non-commutative rings with unity of order $p^n$ where $p$ is prime and $n in lbrace 4,5 rbrace$‎. It is shown that‎, ‎$Gamma(R)$ is the disjoint ...

On cycles in intersection graphs of rings

‎Let $R$ be a commutative ring with non-zero identity. ‎We describe all $C_3$‎- ‎and $C_4$-free intersection graph of non-trivial ideals of $R$ as well as $C_n$-free intersection graph when $R$ is a reduced ring. ‎Also, ‎we shall describe all complete, ‎regular and $n$-claw-free intersection graphs. ‎Finally, ‎we shall prove that almost all Artin rings $R$ have Hamiltonian intersection graphs. ...

Some Properties of the Nil-Graphs of Ideals of Commutative Rings

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and Nil(R) be the set of nilpotent elements of R. The nil-graph of ideals of R is defined as the graph AG_N(R) whose vertex set is {I:(0)and there exists a non-trivial ideal  such that  and two distinct vertices  and  are adjacent if and only if . Here, we study conditions under which  is complete or bipartite. Also, the independence number of  is deter...

INDEPENDENT SETS OF SOME GRAPHS ASSOCIATED TO COMMUTATIVE RINGS

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A set $Ssubseteq V$ isindependent set of $G$,  if no two vertices of $S$ are adjacent.The  independence number $alpha(G)$ is the size of a maximumindependent set in the graph. In this paper we study and characterize the independent sets ofthe zero-divisor graph $Gamma(R)$ and ideal-based zero-divisor graph $Gamma_I(R)$of a commutative ring $R$.
