Graph isomorphism: checking bijectivity and both directions of adjacency preservation from a complete mapping table
G has vertices 1, 2, 3, 4 and edges {1,2}, {2,3}, {3,4}, {1,4}; H has vertices a, b, c, d and edges {a,c}, {b,c}, {b,d}, {a,d}. Prove that f: 1↦a, 2↦c, 3↦b, 4↦d is a graph isomorphism G→H; show that the bijection g: 1↦a, 2↦b, 3↦c, 4↦d is not an isomorphism; and prove that the path P (edges {1,2}, {2,3}, {3,4}) is not isomorphic to H, even though f sends every edge of P to an edge of H.
