Abstract

Let RR be a ring with unity. The cozero-divisor graph of a ring RR, denoted by Γ(R)\Gamma'(R), is an undirected simple graph whose vertices are the set of all non-zero and non-unit elements of RR, and two distinct vertices xx and yy are adjacent if and only if xRyx \notin Ry and yRxy \notin Rx. In this article, we extend some of the results of [24] to an arbitrary ring. In this connection, we derive a closed-form formula of the Wiener index of the cozero-divisor graph of a finite commutative ring RR. As applications, we compute the Wiener index of Γ(R)\Gamma'(R), when either RR is the product of ring of integers modulo nn or a reduced ring. At the final part of this paper, we provide a SageMath code to compute the Wiener index of the cozero-divisor graph of these class of rings including the ring Zn\mathbb{Z}_{n} of integers modulo nn.
