Abstract

The non-coprime graph Π_G of a finite group G is a graph with the vertex
set G-{e}, where two distinct vertices u and v are adjacent if they have
non-coprime orders. In this paper, the main properties of the Cartesian and
tensor product of the non-coprime graph of two finite groups are investigated.
We also describe the non-coprime graph of some special groups including the
dihedral and semi-dihedral groups. Some open questions are also proposed.
