An edge dominating set X of G is called a neighborhood connected edge dominating set (nced-set) if the edge induced subgraph < N(X) > is connected. The minimum cardinality of a nced-set of G is called the neighborhood connected edge domination number of G and is denoted by. In this paper we initiate a study of this parameter. %K Neighborhood Connected Domination %K Neighborhood Connected Edge Domination %U http://journals.math.tku.edu.tw/index.php/TKJM/article/view/710
