Abstract
The zero-divisor graph Γ(R) of an associative ring R is the graph whose vertices are all nonzero zero-divisors (one-sided and two-sided) of R, and two distinct vertices x and y are joined by an edge if and only if either xy = 0 or yx = 0.
In the present paper, we give full description of finite rings with regular zero-divisor graphs. We also prove some properties of finite rings such that their zero-divisor graphs satisfy the Dirac condition.
