Summary: | Let ... be a commutative ring. We associate a digraph to the ideals of ... whose vertex set is the set of all nontrivial ideals of ... and, for every twodistinct vertices ... and ..., there is an arc from ... to ..., denoted by ..., whenever there exists a nontrivial ideal ... such that ... We call this graph the ideal digraph of ... and denote it by ... Also, for a semigroup ... and a subset ... of ..., the Cayley graph ... of ... relative to ... is defined as the digraph with vertex set ... and edge set ... consisting of those ordered pairs ... such that ... for some ... In fact the ideal digraph ... is isomorphic to the Cayley graph ..., where ... is the set of all ideals of ... and ... consists of nontrivial ideals.
