Description: Define the set of all paths (in an undirected graph).
According to Wikipedia ("Path (graph theory)", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_(graph_theory) , 3-Oct-2017): "A path is a trail in which all vertices (except possibly the first and last) are distinct. ... use the term simple path to refer to a path which contains no repeated vertices."
According to Bollobas: "... a path is a walk with distinct vertices.", see Notation of Bollobas p. 5. (A walk with distinct vertices is actually a simple path, see upgrwlkdvspth ).
Therefore, a path can be represented by an injective mapping f from { 1 , ... , n } and a mapping p from { 0 , ... , n }, which is injective restricted to the set { 1 , ... , n }, where f enumerates the (indices of the) different edges, and p enumerates the vertices. So the path is also represented by the following sequence: p(0) e(f(1)) p(1) e(f(2)) ... p(n-1) e(f(n)) p(n).
