Wiener index and graph energy of zero divisor graph for commutative rings

Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] be commutative ring and [Formula: see text] be the set of all non-zero zero divisors of [Formula: see text]. Then [Formula: see text] is said to be the zero divisor graph if and only if [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Graph energy [Formula: see text] is defined as the sum of the absolute eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text]. Wiener index [Formula: see text] is defined as the sum of all distance between pairs of vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we compute the graph energy from the adjacency matrix of the zero divisor graph and the Wiener index from the zero divisor graph associated with commutative rings.
