The linear vertex‐arboricity ρ( G ) of a graph G is defined to be the minimum number of subsets into which the vertex set of G can be partitioned such that each subset induces a linear forest. In this paper, we give the sharp upper and lower bounds for the sum and product of linear vertex‐arboricities of a graph and its complement. Specifically, we prove that for any graph G of order p .and for any graph G of order p = (2 n + 1) 2 , where n ≅ Z + , 2 n + 2 ≦ ρ( G ) + ρ( G ).
