Abstract

The δ\delta-complement GδG_\delta of a graph GG, introduced in 2022 by Pai et al., is a variant of the graph complement, where two vertices are adjacent in GδG_\delta if and only if they are of the same degree but not adjacent in GG or they are of different degrees but adjacent in GG. In this paper, we provide the Nordhaus-Gaddum-type bounds, in the spirit of Nordhaus and Gaddum (1956), over the maximum degrees, the minimum degrees, the vertex connectivities, and the edge connectivities of a graph and its δ\delta-complement. All bounds are attained except for the upper bounds on the product between the minimum degrees of a graph and its δ\delta-complement, the vertex connectivities of a graph and its δ\delta-complement, and the edge connectivities of a graph and its δ\delta-complement.
