Abstract

For a commutative ring $R$, the compressed annihilator graph $AG_E(R)$ is defined by, taking the equivalence classes of zero divisors of $R$ as the vertex set and two distinct vertices $[a]$ and $[b]$ are adjacent if and only if $ ann(a) \cup ann (b) \subset ann(ab)$. In this paper, we discuss some of the basic properties such as degree of the vertices, Eulerian, regularity, domination number and planarity of $AG_E(\mathbb{Z}_n)$, where $\mathbb{Z}_n$ is the ring of integer modulo $n$.
