In the first part, we assign to each positive integer $n$ a digraph $\Gamma (n,5),$ whose set of vertices consists of elements of the ring $\mathbb {Z}_n=\{0,1,\cdots ,n-1\}$ with the addition and the multiplication operations modulo $n,$ and for which there is a directed edge from $a$ to $b$ if and only if $a^5\equiv b\pmod n$. Associated with $\Gamma (n,5)$ are two disjoint subdigraphs: $\Gamma _1(n,5)$ and $\Gamma _2(n,5)$ whose union is $\Gamma (n,5).$ The vertices of $\Gamma _1(n,5)$ are coprime to $n,$ and the vertices of $\Gamma _2(n,5)$ are not coprime to $n.$ In this part, we study the structure of $\Gamma (n,5)$ in detail. \endgraf In the second part, we investigate the zero-divisor graph $G(\mathbb {Z}_n)$ of the ring $\mathbb {Z}_n.$ Its vertex- and edge-connectivity are discussed.
Let $\mathbb {Z}_n{\rm [i]}$ be the ring of Gaussian integers modulo $n$. We construct for $\mathbb {Z}_n{\rm [i]}$ a cubic mapping graph $\Gamma (n)$ whose vertex set is all the elements of\/ $\mathbb {Z}_n{\rm [i]}$ and for which there is a directed edge from $a \in \mathbb {Z}_n{\rm [i]}$ to $b \in \mathbb {Z}_n{\rm [i]}$ if $ b = a^3$. This article investigates in detail the structure of $\Gamma (n)$. We give suffcient and necessary conditions for the existence of cycles with length $t$. The number of $t$-cycles in $\Gamma _1(n)$ is obtained and we also examine when a vertex lies on a $t$-cycle of $\Gamma _2(n)$, where $\Gamma _1(n)$ is induced by all the units of $\mathbb {Z}_n{\rm [i]}$ while $\Gamma _2(n)$ is induced by all the zero-divisors of $\mathbb {Z}_n{\rm [i]}$. In addition, formulas on the heights of components and vertices in $\Gamma (n)$ are presented.
We examine iteration graphs of the squaring function on the rings $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ when $n = 2^{k}p$, for $p$ a Fermat prime. We describe several invariants associated to these graphs and use them to prove that the graphs are not symmetric when $k=3$ and when $k\ge 5$ and are symmetric when $k = 4$.
A digraph is associated with a finite group by utilizing the power map f: G → G defined by f(x) = xkfor all x \in G, where k is a fixed natural number. It is denoted by γG(n, k). In this paper, the generalized quaternion and 2-groups are stud- ied. The height structure is discussed for the generalized quaternion. The necessary and sufficient conditions on a power digraph of a 2-group are determined for a 2-group to be a generalized quaternion group. Further, the classification of two generated 2-groups as abelian or non-abelian in terms of semi-regularity of the power digraphs is completed., Uzma Ahmad, Muqadas Moeen., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
