Proper Sum Graphs, Austin Nicholas Beard May 2021

Proper Sum Graphs, Austin Nicholas Beard

MSU Graduate Theses

The Proper Sum Graph of a commutative ring with identity has the prime ideals as vertices, with two ideals adjacent if their sum is a proper ideal. This thesis expands upon the research of Dhorajia.
