Abstract

For a commutative ring RR, the zero-divisor graph of RR is a simple graph with the vertex set as the set of all zero-divisors of RR and two distinct vertices xx and yy are adjacent if and only if xy=0xy = 0. This article attempts to predict the structure of the zero-divisor graph of the ring of Gaussian integers modulo 22 to the power nn and determine the size, chromatic number, clique number, independence number, and matching through associate classes of divisors of 2n2^n in Z2n[i]\mathbb{Z}_{2^n}[i]. In addition, a few topological indices of the corresponding zero-divisor graph, are obtained.
