Let R be a ring with unity. The graph Γ(R) is a graph with vertices as elements of R, where two distinct vertices a and b are adjacent if and only if Ra + Rb = R. Let Γ2(R) is the subgraph of Γ(R) induced by the non-unit elements. H.R. Maimani et al. [H.R. Maimani et al., Comaximal graph of commutative rings, J. Algebra 319 (2008) 1801-1808] proved that: “If R is a commutative ring with unity a...

In this paper, two outwardly different graphs, namely, the zero-divisor graph [Formula: see text] and comaximal of ring all real-valued continuous functions having countable range, defined on any zero-dimensional space text], are investigated. It is observed that these graphs exhibit resemblance, so far as diameters, girths, connectedness, triangulatedness or hypertriangulatedness concerned. Ho...

  ‎The rings considered in this article are commutative with identity which admit at least two maximal ideals‎.  ‎This article is inspired by the work done on the comaximal ideal graph of a commutative ring‎. ‎Let R be a ring‎.  ‎We associate an undirected graph to R denoted by mathcal{G}(R)‎,  ‎whose vertex set is the set of all proper ideals I of R such that Inotsubseteq J(R)‎, ‎where J(R) is...

We review some methods of associating graphs to rings. The main emphasis is on zero-divisor graphs and comaximal ones. Some new results in both directions are presented. AMS Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 13A99, 05C99, 16S50

We extend some results of Brewer and Heinzer about integral domains with certain comaximal factorization properties for ideals, to the more general setup multiplicative lattices.
