Hypergraph
The command NumberOfVertices(H) returns the number of the vertices of H.
Terminology
Hypergraph : mathematically, a hypergraph is a pair (X, Y) where X is a finite set and Y is a set of non-empty subsets of X.
Vertices : the members of X are called the vertices of the hypergraph (X, Y).
Hyperedges : the members of Y are called the hyperedges (or simply edges) of the hypergraph (X, Y).
