Graph isomorphism (sopuli.xyz)

Definitions

A graph G = (V, E) is a set of nodes V and a set of undirected edges E. An undirected edge is a set of two vertices.

Two graphs G1 = (V1, E1) and G2 = (V2, E2) are isomorph if there is a bijective mapping f from V1 to V2 such that f(E1) = E2. Applying f to E1 means applying it to each node in each edge in E1.

Problem

Is there an algorithm that decides if two arbitrary graphs are isomorphic in polynomial time?

If f(E1) = E2 then what?

If two arbitrary graphs are what? I assume isomorphic.
