  2. Unordered pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unordered_pair

    A set with precisely two elements is also called a 2-set or (rarely) a binary set. An unordered pair is a finite set; its cardinality (number of elements) is 2 or (if the two elements are not distinct) 1. In axiomatic set theory, the existence of unordered pairs is required by an axiom, the axiom of pairing. More generally, an unordered n-tuple ...

  3. Graph (discrete mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_(discrete_mathematics)

    A graph with three vertices and three edges. A graph (sometimes called an undirected graph to distinguish it from a directed graph, or a simple graph to distinguish it from a multigraph) [4] [5] is a pair G = (V, E), where V is a set whose elements are called vertices (singular: vertex), and E is a set of unordered pairs {,} of vertices, whose elements are called edges (sometimes links or lines).

  4. Graph theory - Wikipedia

    Another problem in subdivision containment is the Kelmans–Seymour conjecture: Every 5-vertex-connected graph that is not planar contains a subdivision of the 5-vertex complete graph K 5. Another class of problems has to do with the extent to which various species and generalizations of graphs are determined by their point-deleted subgraphs ...

  5. Ordered pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered_pair

    In mathematics, an ordered pair, denoted (a, b), is a pair of objects in which their order is significant. The ordered pair (a, b) is different from the ordered pair (b, a), unless a = b. In contrast, the unordered pair, denoted {a, b}, equals the unordered pair {b, a}. Ordered pairs are also called 2-tuples, or sequences (sometimes, lists in a ...

  6. Cartesian product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_product

    In mathematics, specifically set theory, the Cartesian product of two sets A and B, denoted A × B, is the set of all ordered pairs (a, b) where a is in A and b is in B. [1] In terms of set-builder notation, that is [2][3] A table can be created by taking the Cartesian product of a set of rows and a set of columns.

  7. Cremona–Richmond configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cremona–Richmond...

    The points of the Cremona–Richmond configuration may be identified with the = unordered pairs of elements of a six-element set; these pairs are called duads.Similarly, the lines of the configuration may be identified with the 15 ways of partitioning the same six elements into three pairs; these partitions are called synthemes.

  8. Configuration space (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_space...

    The configuration space of all unordered pairs of points on the circle is the Möbius strip. In mathematics, a configuration space is a construction closely related to state spaces or phase spaces in physics. In physics, these are used to describe the state of a whole system as a single point in a high-dimensional space.

  9. Partially ordered set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partially_ordered_set

    Partial orders. A reflexive, weak, [1] or non-strict partial order, [2] commonly referred to simply as a partial order, is a homogeneous relation ≤ on a set that is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive. That is, for all it must satisfy: Reflexivity: , i.e. every element is related to itself.
