Harary} ([Combinatorics, graph theory, and computing, Proc. 10th Southeast Conf., Boca Raton/FL (USA) 1989, Congr. Numerantium 72, 101‒108 (1990; Zbl 0691.05038)] and [Discrete Math. 124, No. 1‒3, 99‒105 (1994; Zbl 0797.05069)]). Let $N$ denote the set of all positive integers. The sum graph $G^{+}(S)$ of a finite subset $S\subset N$ is the graph $(S,E)$ with $uv\in E$ if and only if $u+v\in S$. A simple graph $G$ is said to be a sum graph if it is isomorphic to a sum graph of some $S\subset N$. The sum number $σ(G)$ of $G$ is the smallest number of isolated vertices which when added to $G$ result in a sum graph. Let $Z$ denote the set of all integers. The integral sum graph $G^{+}(S)$ of a finite subset $S\subset Z$ is the graph $(S,E)$ with $uv\in E$ if and only $u+v\in S$. A simple graph $G$ is said to be an integral sum graph if it is isomorphic to an integral sum graph of some $S\subset Z$. The integral sum number $ζ(G)$ of $G$ is the smallest number of isolated vertices which when added to $G$ result in an integral sum graph. In this paper we investigate and determine the sum number and the integral sum number of the graph $K_{n}\backslash E(C_{n-1})$. The results are presented as follows: $$ ζ(K_{n}\backslash E(C_{n-1}))=\cases 0, & n=4,5,6,7\ 2n-7, & n\geq 8 \ \endcases $$ and $$ σ(K_{n}\backslash E(C_{n-1}))=\cases 1,& n=4\ 2,& n=5\ 5,& n=6\ 7,& n=7\ 2n-7,& n\geq 8.\ \endcases $$ rv:
