Abstract

Let (A,,,0)(A, \oplus, *, 0) be an MV-algebra, (A,,0)(A, \odot, 0) be the associated commutative semigroup, and II be an ideal of AA. Define the ideal-based zero-divisor graph ΓI(A)\Gamma_{I}(A) of AA with respect to II to be a simple graph with the set of vertices V(ΓI(A))={xA\I  ( yA\I) xyI},V(\Gamma_{I}(A))=\{x\in A\backslash I ~|~ (\exists~ y\in A\backslash I) ~x\odot y\in I\}, and two distinct vertices xx and yy are joined by an edge if and only if xyIx\odot y\in I. We prove that ΓI(A)\Gamma_{I}(A) is connected and its diameter is less than or equal to 33. Also, some relationship between the diameter (the girth) of ΓI(A)\Gamma_{I}(A) and the diameter (the girth) of the zero-divisor graph of A/IA/I are investigated. And using the girth of zero-divisor graphs (resp. ideal-based zero-divisor graphs) of MV-algebras, we classify all MV-algebras into 2 (2~(resp. 3)3) types.
