In this paper, it is shown that for every Artinian ring $R$, the edge chromatic number of $\\Gamma_{reg}(R)$ equals its maximum degree. Then a formula for the clique number of $\\Gamma_{reg}(R)$ is given. Also, it is proved that for every reduced ring $R$ with $n(\\geq3)$ minimal prime ideals, the edge chromatic number of $\\Gamma_{reg}(R)$ is $2^{n-1}-2$. Moreover, we show that both of the clique number and vertex chromatic number of $\\Gamma_{reg}(R)$ are $n-1$, for every reduced ring $R$ with $n$ minimal prime ideals.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-02T09:22:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C15", "05C25", "13B30", "16P20", "G.2.2" ], "keywords": [ "regular graph", "minimal prime ideals", "edge chromatic number", "regular element", "clique number" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150100370S" } } }
