A note on eigenvalues of zero divisor graphs associated with commutative rings

For a commutative ring $R,$ with non-zero zero divisors $Z^{\ast}(R)$. The zero divisor graph $Γ(R)$ is a simple graph with vertex set $Z^{\ast}(R)$, and two distinct vertices $x,y\in V(Γ(R))$ are adjacent if and only if $x\cdot y=0.$ In this note, we provide counter examples to the eigenvalues, the energy and the second Zagreb index related to zero divisor graphs of rings obtained in [Johnson and Sankar, J. Appl. Math. Comp. (2023), \cite{johnson}]. We correct the eigenvalues (energy) and the Zagreb index result for the zero divisor graphs of ring $\mathbb{Z}_{p}[x]/\langle x^{4} \rangle.$ We show that for any prime $p$, $Γ(\mathbb{Z}_{p}[x]/\langle x^{4} \rangle)$ is non-hyperenergetic and for prime $p\geq 3$, $Γ(\mathbb{Z}_{p}[x]/\langle x^{4} \rangle)$ is hypoenergetic. We give a formulae for the topological indices of $Γ(\mathbb{Z}_{p}[x]/\langle x^{4} \rangle)$ and show that its Zagreb indices satisfy Hansen and Vuki$\check{c}$cević conjecture \cite{hansen}.

A note on the Independent domination polynomial of zero divisor graph of rings

In this note we consider the independent domination polynomial problem along with their unimodal and log-concave properties which were earlier studied by Gürsoy, Ülker and Gürsoy (Soft Comp. 2022). We show that the independent domination polynomial of zero divisor graphs of $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$ for $n\in \{ pq, p^{2}q, pqr, p^α\}$ where $p,q,r$ are primes with $2<p<q<r$ are not unimodal thereby contradicting the main result of Gürsoy, Ülker and Gürsoy \cite{gursoy}. Besides the authors show that the zero of the independent domination polynomial of these graphs have only real zero and used concept of Newton's inequalities to establish the log-concave property for the afore said polynomials. We show that these polynomials have complex zeros and the technique of Newton's inequalities are not applicable. Finally, by definition of log-concave, we prove that these polynomials are log-concave and fix the flaws in Theorem 10 of Gürsoy, Ülker and Gürsoy \cite{gursoy}.
