of R is\varGamma (R) Γ (R) with vertex set Z^*(R) Z∗(R), where two distinct vertices x and y
are adjacent if and only if xy= 0 xy= 0. The zero-divisor graph structure of Z _ p^ n Z pn is
described. We determine the clique number, degree of the vertices, size, metric dimension,
upper dimension, automorphism group, Wiener index of the associated zero-divisor graph of
Z _ p^ n Z pn. Further, we provide a partition of the vertex set of\varGamma (Z _ p^ n) Γ (Z …
