Abstract
The paper studies the following question: Given a ring R, when does the zero-divisor graph Î(R) have a regular endomorphism monoid? We prove if R contains at least one nontrivial idempotent, then Î(R) has a regular endomorphism monoid if and only if R is isomorphic to one of the following rings: Z2ÃZ2ÃZ2; Z2ÃZ4; Z2Ã(Z2[x]/(x2)); F1ÃF2, where F1,F2 are fields. In addition, we determine all positive integers n for which Î(Zn) has the property.
