摘要

Let n be a nonprime integer. We introduce a new simple undirected graph and denote it by MD(n). Here, the vertices are the proper divisors of n and two vertices x and y are adjacent if xy divides n. We explore the connectedness of MD(n) and provide detailed calculations for the degree of each vertex. In addition, we focus on a special case n = pα, where p is a prime positive integer and α ≥ 3 is a positive integer. For these cases, we explicitly determine the chromatic number χ and the clique number ω of MD(n). Finally, we conclude that χ(MD(n)) = ω(MD(n)).
