The zero-divisor graph $\Gamma(R)$ of a ring $R$ is a graph with nonzero zero-divisors of $R$ as vertices and distinct vertices $x,y$ are adjacent if $xy=0$ or $yx=0$. We provide an equivalence relation on a ring $R$ and express $\Gamma(R)$…

For a ring $R$, the zero-divisor graph is a simple graph $\Gamma(R)$ whose vertex set is the set of all non-zero zero-divisors in a ring $R$, and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy=0$ or $yx=0$ in $R$. By…

In this paper, we relate the seemingly unrelated concepts of treewidth and boxicity. Our main result is that, for any graph G, boxicity(G) <= treewidth(G) + 2. We also show that this upper bound is (almost) tight. Our result leads to…

This paper introduces a new approach to associating a graph with a commutative ring. Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. The unit-zero divisor graph of a commutative ring $R$, denoted by $G_{UZ}(R)$, offers a novel framework for…

Let $R$ be a ring with involution $*$ and $Z^*(R)$ denotes the set of all non-zero zero-divisors of $R$. We associate a simple (undirected) graph $\Gamma'(R)$ with vertex set $Z^*(R)$ and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent in…

Let $\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_n[i])$ be the zero divisor graph over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_n[i]$. In this article, we study pancyclic properties of $\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_n[i])$ and $\overline{\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_n[i])}$ for different $n$. Also, we prove…

We study the zero divisor graph determined by equivalence classes of zero divisors of a commutative Noetherian ring R. We demonstrate how to recover information about R from this structure. In particular, we determine how to identify…

Let $X$ be a simplicial complex on vertex set $V$. We say that $X$ is $d$-representable if it is isomorphic to the nerve of a family of convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We define the $d$-boxicity of $X$ as the minimal $k$ such that $X$ can be…

For any graph $G=(V,E)$, a subset $S\subseteq V$ \emph{dominates} $G$ if all vertices are contained in the closed neighborhood of $S$, that is $N[S]=V$. The minimum cardinality over all such $S$ is called the domination number, written…

In this article, we discussed the zero-divisor graph of a commutative ring with identity $\mathbb{F}_p+u\mathbb{F}_p+u^2 \mathbb{F}_p$ where $u^3=0$ and $p$ is an odd prime. We find the clique number, chromatic number, vertex connectivity,…

The three well-known graph classes, planar graphs (P), series-parallel graphs(SP) and outer planar graphs(OP) satisfy the following proper inclusion relation: OP C SP C P. It is known that box(G) <= 3 if G belongs to P and box(G) <= 2 if G…

The smallest set of vertices needed to differentiate or categorize every other vertex in a graph is referred to as the graph's metric dimension. Finding the class of graphs for a particular given metric dimension is an NP-hard problem. This…

The cozero-divisor graph of a commutative ring $R$, denoted $\Gamma'(R)$, is the graph whose vertices are the non-zero and non-unit elements of $R$, with two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ adjacent if and only if $x \notin Ry$ and $y \notin…
