A bipartite graph is a graph G = (V, E) whose vertices can be partitioned into two sets
Chapter 3, Problem 3.7(choose chapter or problem)
A bipartite graph is a graph G = (V, E) whose vertices can be partitioned into two sets (V = V1V2and V1 V2 = ) such that there are no edges between vertices in the same set (for instance, ifu, v V1, then there is no edge between u and v).(a) Give a linear-time algorithm to determine whether an undirected graph is bipartite.(b) There are many other ways to formulate this property. For instance, an undirected graphis bipartite if and only if it can be colored with just two colors.Prove the following formulation: an undirected graph is bipartite if and only if it containsno cycles of odd length.(c) At most how many colors are needed to color in an undirected graph with exactly one oddlengthcycle?

ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
A bipartite graph is a graph whose vertices can be partitioned into two sets ( and ) such that there are no edges between vertices in the same set. This can be written as follows:
