Domination number of graphs associated with rings.

The present work aims to exploit the interplay between the algebraic properties of rings and the graph-theoretic structures of their associated graphs. Let R be an associative (not necessarily commutative) ring. We focus on the domination number of the zero-divisor graph Γ (R) , the compressed zero-divisor graph Γ E (R) and the unit graph G (R). We find some relations between the domination number of the zero-divisor graph and that of the compressed zero-divisor graph. Moreover, some relations between the domination number of Γ (R) and Γ (R [ x ; α , δ ]) , as well as the relations between the domination number of G (R) and G (R [ [ x ; α ] ]) , are studied.
