On domination in zero-divisor graphs

Abstract

We first determine the domination number for the zero-divisor graph of the product of two commutative rings with 1. We then calculate the domination number for the zero-divisor graph of any commutative artinian ring. Finally, we extend some of the results to non-commutative rings in which an element is a left zero-divisor if and only if it is a right zero-divisor. © Canadian Mathematical Society 2011.
