Definition:Edge Set

Definition
Let $G = \struct {V, E}$ be a graph.

The set $E$ of edges in $G$ is called the edge set.

It consists of (unordered) pairs of elements of the vertex set $V$.

It is often convenient to refer to the edge set for a given graph $G$ as $\map E G$, especially if there is at any one time more than one graph under consideration.
