Abstract

In this paper, the residuated graph of residuated lattices will be studied. To do so, the notion of zero divisors of a nonempty subset of a residuated lattice is first introduced and some related properties are investigated. By means of the set of all zerodivisors of an element of a residuated lattice L, the residuated graph Γ(L) is defined and several examples are given. This graph is connected and also some necessary conditions for the residuated graph to be a star graph are found. Finally, the relation between a residuated lattice L and the residuated graph Γ(L) are studied.
