Some properties of the zero divisor graph of a commutative ring

Let Γ(R) be the zero divisor graph for a commutative ring with identity. The k-domination number and the 2-packing number of Γ(R), where R is an Artinian ring, are computed. k-dominating sets and 2-packing sets for the zero divisor graph of the ring of Gaussian integers modulo n, Γ(ℤₙ[i]), are constructed. The center, the median, the core, as well as the automorphism group of Γ(ℤₙ[i]) are determined. Perfect zero divisor graphs Γ(R) are investigated.
