Abstract

A set of vertices SS of a graph GG is a (geodesic)convex set, if SS contains all the vertices belonging to any shortest path connecting between two vertices of SS. The cardinality of maximum proper convex set of GG is called the convexity number, con(G)(G) of GG. The complementary prism GGˉG\bar{G} of GG is obtained from the disjoint union of GG and its complement Gˉ\bar{G} by adding the edges of a perfect matching between them. In this work, we examine the convex sets of the complementary prism of a tree and derive formulas for the convexity numbers of the complementary prisms of all trees.
