Polynomial functions on rings of dual numbers over residue class rings of the integers

The ring of dual numbers over a ring R is R[α] = R[x]/(x 2), where α denotes x + (x 2). For any finite commutative ring R, we characterize null polynomials and permutation polynomials on R[α] in terms of the functions induced by their coordinate polynomials (f 1, f 2 ∈ R[x], where f = f 1 + αf 2) and their formal derivatives on R. We derive explicit formulas for the number of polynomial functions and the number of polynomial permutations on ℤ p n [α] for n ≤ p (p prime).

Orthogonal decompositions of Lie algebras over finite commutative rings

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite commutative ring with identity. In this paper, we give a necessary condition for the existence of an orthogonal decomposition of the special linear Lie algebra over [Formula: see text]. Additionally, we study orthogonal decompositions of the symplectic Lie algebra and the special orthogonal Lie algebra over [Formula: see text].

On the group of unit-valued polynomial functions

Let R be a finite commutative ring. The set $${{\mathcal{F}}}(R)$$ F ( R ) of polynomial functions on R is a finite commutative ring with pointwise operations. Its group of units $${{\mathcal{F}}}(R)^\times $$ F ( R ) × is just the set of all unit-valued polynomial functions. We investigate polynomial permutations on $$R[x]/(x^2)=R[\alpha ]$$ R [ x ] / ( x 2 ) = R [ α ] , the ring of dual numbers over R, and show that the group $${\mathcal{P}}_{R}(R[\alpha ])$$ P R ( R [ α ] ) , consisting of those polynomial permutations of $$R[\alpha ]$$ R [ α ] represented by polynomials in R[x], is embedded in a semidirect product of $${{\mathcal{F}}}(R)^\times $$ F ( R ) × by the group $${\mathcal{P}}(R)$$ P ( R ) of polynomial permutations on R. In particular, when $$R={\mathbb{F}}_q$$ R = F q , we prove that $${\mathcal{P}}_{{\mathbb{F}}_q}({\mathbb{F}}_q[\alpha ])\cong {\mathcal{P}}({\mathbb{F}}_q) \ltimes _\theta {{\mathcal{F}}}({\mathbb{F}}_q)^\times $$ P F q ( F q [ α ] ) ≅ P ( F q ) ⋉ θ F ( F q ) × . Furthermore, we count unit-valued polynomial functions on the ring of integers modulo $${p^n}$$ p n and obtain canonical representations for these functions.

THE METRIC DIMENSION OF THE ANNIHILATING-IDEAL GRAPH OF A FINITE COMMUTATIVE RING

We determine the metric dimension of the annihilating-ideal graph of a local finite commutative principal ring and a finite commutative principal ring with two maximal ideals. We also find bounds for the metric dimension of the annihilating-ideal graph of an arbitrary finite commutative principal ring.

On distance Laplacian spectrum of zero divisor graphs of the ring $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$

For a finite commutative ring $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$ with identity $1\neq 0$, the zero divisor graph $\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_{n})$ is a simple connected graph having vertex set as the set of non-zero zero divisors, where two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy=0$. We find the distance Laplacian spectrum of the zero divisor graphs $\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_{n})$ for different values of $n$. Also, we obtain the distance Laplacian spectrum of $\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_{n})$ for $n=p^z$, $z\geq 2$, in terms of the Laplacian spectrum. As a consequence, we determine those $n$ for which zero divisor graph $\Gamma(\mathbb{Z}_{n})$ is distance Laplacian integral.

Line graph of unit graphs associated with finite commutative rings

For a given graph G, its line graph denoted by L(G) is a graph whose vertex set V (L(G)) = E(G) and {e1, e2} ∈ E(L(G)) if e1 and e2 are incident to a common vertex in G. Let R be a finite commutative ring with nonzero identity and G(R) denotes the unit graph associated with R. In this manuscript, we have studied the line graph L(G(R)) of unit graph G(R) associated with R. In the course of the investigation, several basic properties, viz., diameter, girth, clique, and chromatic number of L(G(R)) have been determined. Further, we have derived sufficient conditions for L(G(R)) to be Planar and Hamiltonian

What is the probability that two elements of a finite ring have product zero?

In this paper, the probability that two elements of a finite ring have product zero is considered. The bounds of this probability are found for an arbitrary finite commutative ring with identity 1. An explicit formula for this probability in the case of, the ring of integers modulo, is obtained.
