文摘The commuting graph of an arbitrary ring R, denoted by Г(R), is a graph whose vertices are all non-central elements of R, and two distinct vertices a and b are adjacent if and only if ab = ba. In this paper, we investigate the connectivity and the diameter of Г(ZnS3). We show that Г(ZnS3) is connected if and only if n is not a prime number. If Г(ZnS3) is connected then diam(Г(ZnS3)) = 3, while ifГ(ZnS3) is disconnected then every connected component of Г(ZnS3) must be a complete graph with same size, and we completely determine the vertice set of every connected component.
