- Abstract:
- Let R be a commutative ring and Γ (R) be its zero-divisor graph. In this paper it is shown that for any finite commutative ring R, the edge chromatic number of Γ (R) is equal to the maximum degree of Γ (R), unless Γ (R) is a complete graph of odd order. In [D.F. Anderson, A. Frazier, A. Lauve, P.S. Livingston, in: Lecture Notes in Pure and Appl. Math., Vol. 220, Marcel Dekker, New York, 2001, pp. 61-72] it has been proved that if R and S are finite reduced rings which are not fields, then Γ (R) ≃ Γ (S) if and only if R ≃ S. Here we generalize this result and prove that if R is a finite reduced ring which is not isomorphic to ℤ2 × ℤ 2 or to ℤ6 and S is a ring such that Γ (R) ≃ Γ (S), then R ≃ S. © 2004 Elsevier Inc.
