On determining number and metric dimension of zero-divisor graphs (2308.00796v1)

Abstract: In this article, explicit formulas for finding the determining number and the metric dimension of the zero-divisor graph of Z_n and non-Boolean semisimple rings are given. In the case of Boolean rings, an upper bound of the determining number and the metric dimension of zero-divisor graph is determined. Further, the determining number and the metric dimension of some important graphs other than zero-divisor graphs, are proved and the open problem by Boutin, regarding the determining number of graphs is settled.
