A set of vertices X of a graph G is a strong edge geodetic set if, to any pair of vertices from X, we can assign one (or zero) shortest path between them, such that every edge of G is contained in at least one on these paths. The cardinality of a smallest strong edge geodetic set of G is the strong edge geodetic number sge(G)\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\\mathrm{sg_e}(G)$$\\end{document} of G.
