The main purpose of this paper is to study the zero-divisor properties of the zero-symmetric near-ring of skew formal power series R₀[[x; α]], where R is a symmetric, α-compatible and right Noetherian ring. It is shown that if R is reduced, then the set of all zero-divisor elements of R₀[[x; α]] forms an ideal of R₀[[x; α]] if and only if Z(R) is an ideal of R. Also, if R is a non-reduced ring and annR(a - b) ∩ Nil(R) ≠ 0 for each a, b ∈ Z(R), then Z(R₀[[x; α]]) is an ideal of R₀[[x; α]]. Moreover, if R is a non-reduced right Noetherian ring and Z(R₀[[x; α]]) forms an ideal, then ann_R(a - b) ∩ Nil(R) ≠ 0 for each a, b ∈ Z(R). Also, it is proved that the only possible diameters of the zero-divisor graph of R₀[[x; α]] is 2 and 3.

Unlike for polynomial rings, the notion of multiplication for the near-ring of polynomials is the substitution operation. This leads to somewhat surprising results. Let S be an abelian left near-ring with identity. The relation ~ on S defined by letting a ~ b if and only if ann_S(a) = ann_S(b), is an equivalence relation. The compressed zero-divisor graph 𝚪_E(S) of S is the undirected graph whose vertices are the equivalence classes induced by ~ on S other than [0]_S and [1]_S, in which two distinct vertices [a]_S and [b]_S are adjacent if and only if ab = 0 or ba = 0. In this paper, we are interested in studying the compressed zero-divisor graphs of the zero-symmetric near-ring of polynomials R₀[x] and the near-ring of the power series R₀[[x]] over a commutative ring R. Also, we give a complete characterization of the diameter of these two graphs. It is natural to try to find the relationship between diam(𝚪_E(R₀[x])) and diam(𝚪_E(R₀[[x]])). As a corollary, it is shown that for a reduced ring R, diam(𝚪_E(R)) ≤ diam(𝚪_E(R₀[x])) ≤ diam(𝚪_E(R₀[[x]])).
