Let (bn) = (b1, b2, . . . ) be a sequence of integers. A primitive prime divisor of a term bk is a prime which divides bk but does not divide any of the previous terms of the sequence. A zero orbit of a polynomial φ(z) is a sequence of integers (cn) where the n-th term is the n-th iterate of φ at 0. We consider primitive prime divisors of zero orbits of polynomials. In this note, we show that f...

Let R be a commutative ring with non-zero identity. The cozero-divisor graph of R, denoted by , is a graph with vertices in   R     W R  , which is the set of all non-zero and non-unit elements of R, and two distinct vertices a and b in are adjacent if and only if and   W R  a bR  b aR  . In this paper, we investigate some combinatorial properties of the cozero-divisor graphs    ...

The paper studies the following question: Given a ring R, when does the zero-divisor graph (R) have a regular endomorphism monoid? We prove if R contains at least one nontrivial idempotent, then (R) has a regular endomorphism monoid if and only if R is isomorphic to one of the following rings: Z2 × Z2 × Z2; Z2 × Z4; Z2 × (Z2[x]/(x)); F1 × F2, where F1, F2 are fields. In addition, we determine a...

For a commutative semigroup S with 0, the zero-divisor graph of S denoted by Γ(S) is the graph whose vertices are nonzero zero-divisor of S, and two vertices x, y are adjacent in case xy = 0 in S. In this paper we study the case where the graph Γ(S) is complete r-partite for a positive integer r. Also we study the commutative semigroups which are finitely colorable.

Tree series transformations computed by polynomial topdown and bottom-up tree series transducers are considered. The hierarchy of tree series transformations obtained in [Fülöp, Gazdag, Vogler: Hierarchies of Tree Series Transformations. Theoret. Comput. Sci. 314(3), p. 387–429, 2004] for commutative izz-semirings (izz abbreviates idempotent, zero-sum and zero-divisor free) is generalized to ar...

For any commutative ring R that is not a domain, there is a zerodivisor graph, denoted Γ(R), in which the vertices are the nonzero zero-divisors of R and two distinct vertices x and y are joined by an edge exactly when xy = 0. In [Sm2], Smith characterized the graph structure of Γ(R) provided it is infinite and planar. In this paper, we give a ring-theoretic characterization of R such that Γ(R)...

In this paper we will investigate the interactions between the zero divisor graph, the annihilator class graph, and the associate class graph of commutative rings.
