ABSTRACT

Let R be a commutative ring with non-zero identity. The cozero-divisor graph of R, denoted by , is a graph with vertices in , which is the set of all non-zero and non-unit elements of R, and two distinct vertices a and b in are adjacent if and only if and . In this paper, we investigate some combinatorial properties of the cozero-divisor graphs and such as connectivity, diameter, girth, clique numbers and planarity. We also study the cozero-divisor graphs of the direct products of two arbitrary commutative rings.
