Characterization of the absorption radical of an evolution algebra using their associated graph

In this paper we present a method for finding the absorbing radical of a finite-dimensional evolution algebra. Such a method consists of finding the acyclic vertices of an oriented graph associated with the algebra. The set of generators associated with such vertices turn out to be the generators of the absorption radical. As an application we use the absorption radical to study the decomposability of some degenerate evolution algebras.
