In this paper, we study the strong metric dimension of zero-divisor graph ${\Gamma}(R)$ associated to a ring R. This is done by transforming the problem into a more well-known problem of finding the vertex cover number ${\alpha}(G)$ of a strong resolving graph $G_{sr}$. We find the strong metric dimension of zero-divisor graphs of the ring ${\mathbb{Z}}_n$ of integers modulo n and the ring of Gaussian integers ${\mathbb{Z}}_n$[i] modulo n. We obtain the bounds for strong metric dimension of zero-divisor graphs and we also discuss the strong metric dimension of the Cartesian product of graphs.

We give a characterization of zero divisors of the ring C[a, b]. Using the Weierstrass approximation theorem, we completely characterize topological divisors of zero of the Banach algebra C[a, b]. We also characterize the zero divisors and topological divisors of zero in ℓ^∞. Further, we show that zero is the only zero divisor in the disk algebra 𝒜 (𝔻) and that the class of singular elements in 𝒜 (𝔻) properly contains the class of topological divisors of zero. Lastly, we construct a class of topological divisors of zero of 𝒜 (𝔻) which are not zero divisors.

The main purpose of this paper is to study the zero-divisor properties of the zero-symmetric near-ring of skew formal power series R₀[[x; α]], where R is a symmetric, α-compatible and right Noetherian ring. It is shown that if R is reduced, then the set of all zero-divisor elements of R₀[[x; α]] forms an ideal of R₀[[x; α]] if and only if Z(R) is an ideal of R. Also, if R is a non-reduced ring and annR(a - b) ∩ Nil(R) ≠ 0 for each a, b ∈ Z(R), then Z(R₀[[x; α]]) is an ideal of R₀[[x; α]]. Moreover, if R is a non-reduced right Noetherian ring and Z(R₀[[x; α]]) forms an ideal, then ann_R(a - b) ∩ Nil(R) ≠ 0 for each a, b ∈ Z(R). Also, it is proved that the only possible diameters of the zero-divisor graph of R₀[[x; α]] is 2 and 3.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity 1≠ 0. In this paper, we continue the study started in [10] to further investigate when the extended zero-divisor graph of R, denoted as $\bar{\Gamma}$(R), is complemented. We also study when $\bar{\Gamma}$(R) is uniquely complemented. We give a complete characterization of when $\bar{\Gamma}$(R) of a finite ring R is complemented. Various examples are given using the direct product of rings and idealizations of modules.

Let R be a ring, (S,${\leq}$) a strictly ordered monoid and ${\omega}$ : S ${\rightarrow}$ End(R) a monoid homomorphism. The skew generalized power series ring R[[S,${\omega}$]] is a common generalization of (skew) polynomial rings, (skew) power series rings, (skew) Laurent polynomial rings, (skew) group rings, and Mal'cev-Neumann Laurent series rings. In this paper, we investigate the interplay between the ring-theoretical properties of R[[S,${\omega}$]] and the graph-theoretical properties of its zero-divisor graph ${\Gamma}$(R[[S,${\omega}$]]). Furthermore, we examine the preservation of diameter and girth of the zero-divisor graph under extension to skew generalized power series rings.

Let ℤ be the ring of integers and let ℤ_n be the ring of integers modulo n. Let ℤ(+)ℤ_n be the idealization of ℤ_n in ℤ and let (ℤ(+)ℤ_n)[X]] be either (ℤ(+)ℤ_n)[X] or (ℤ(+)ℤ_n)[[X]]. In this article, we study the zero-divisor graphs of ℤ(+)ℤ_n and (ℤ(+)ℤ_n)[X]]. More precisely, we completely characterize the diameter and the girth of the zero-divisor graphs of ℤ(+)ℤ_n and (ℤ(+)ℤ_n)[X]]. We also calculate the chromatic number of the zero-divisor graphs of ℤ(+)ℤ_n and (ℤ(+)ℤ_n)[X]].

The zero-divisor graph of a noncommutative ring R, denoted by ${\Gamma}(R)$, is a graph whose vertices are nonzero zero-divisors of R, and there is a directed edge from a vertex x to a distinct vertex y if and only if xy = 0. Let $R=M_2(F_q)$ be the $2{\times}2$ matrix ring over a finite field $F_q$. In this article, we investigate the automorphism group of ${\Gamma}(R)$.

Let R be a commutative ring, M be a Noetherian R-module, and N a 2-absorbing submodule of M such that r(N :_R M) = 𝖕 is a prime ideal of R. The main result of the paper states that if N = Q₁ ∩ ⋯ ∩ Q_n with r(Q_i :_R M) = 𝖕_i, for i = 1, . . . , n, is a minimal primary decomposition of N, then the following statements are true. (i) 𝖕 = 𝖕_k for some 1 ≤ k ≤ n. (ii) For each j = 1, . . . , n there exists m_j ∈ M such that 𝖕_j = (N :_R m_j). (iii) For each i, j = 1, . . . , n either 𝖕_i ⊆ 𝖕_j or 𝖕_j ⊆ 𝖕_i. Let Γ_E(M) denote the zero-divisor graph of equivalence classes of zero divisors of M. It is shown that {Q₁∩ ⋯ ∩Q_n-1, Q₁∩ ⋯ ∩Q_n-2, . . . , Q₁} is an independent subset of V (Γ_E(M)), whenever the zero submodule of M is a 2-absorbing submodule and Q₁ ∩ ⋯ ∩ Q_n = 0 is its minimal primary decomposition. Furthermore, it is proved that Γ_E(M)[(0 :_R M)], the induced subgraph of Γ_E(M) by (0 :_R M), is complete.

In this article, we generalize a well-known result of Hebisch and Weinert that states that a finite semidomain is either zerosumfree or a ring. Specifically, we show that the class of commutative semirings S such that S has nonzero characteristic and every zero-divisor of S is nilpotent can be partitioned into zerosumfree semirings and rings. In addition, we demonstrate that if S is a finite commutative semiring such that the set of zero-divisors of S forms a subtractive ideal of S, then either every zero-sum of S is nilpotent or S must be a ring. An example is given to establish the existence of semirings in this latter category with both nontrivial zero-sums and zero-divisors that are not nilpotent.
