The zero-divisor graph of a commutative ring R, denoted by Γ(R), is a graph whose two distinct vertices x and y are joined by an edge if and only if xy = 0 or yx = 0. The main problem of the study of graphs defined on algebraic structure is to recognize finite rings through the properties of various graphs defined on it. The main objective of this article is to study the Wiener index of zero-divisor graph and compressed zero-divisor graph of the ring of integer modulo psqt for all distinct primes p, q and s,t∈N. We study the structure of these graphs by dividing the vertex set. Furthermore, a formula for the Wiener index of zero-divisor graph of Γ(R), and a formula for the Wiener index of associated compressed zero-divisor graph ΓE(R) are derived for R=Zpsqt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
