Let the vertex arboricity of G be denoted by a(G)and the edge arboricityof G by a1(G).For any simple nontrivial graph G of order p and its complement G, the following inequalities of Nordhaus-Gaddum class are obtained|x| and |x | denote the floor and the ceiling functions of x, respectively. It is also shownthat the upper bound in (iii) and the lower bounds in (i), (ii), and (iv) are sharp for everypositive integer p.
