Abstract

Let 𝑅 be a commutative ring with identity 1 0 and let Z ( R ) be the set of all non-zero and non-unit elements of ring 𝑅. Further, Γ ( R ) denotes the cozero-divisor graph of 𝑅, is an undirected graph with vertex set Z ( R ) , and w z R and z w R if and only if two distinct vertices 𝑤 and 𝑧 are adjacent, where q R is the ideal generated by the element 𝑞 in 𝑅. In this paper, we find the signless Laplacian eigenvalues of the graphs Γ ( Z n ) for n = p 1 N p 2 p 3 and p 1 N p 2 M p 3 , where p 1 , p 2 , p 3 are distinct primes and N , M are positive integers. We also show that the cozero-divisor graph Γ ( Z p 1 p 2 ) is a signless Laplacian integral.
