How can we tell if a graph is bipartite by hand? We'll discuss the easiest way to identify bipartite graphs in today's graph theory lesson. This method takes advantage of the fact that bipartite graphs are 2-colorable. This means their vertices can be colored using only two colors so adjacent vertices are colored differently (sometimes called a proper coloring). You may easily see that being 2-colorable and bipartite are the exact same things! #GraphTheory

Since a graph being bipartite is the same as being 2-colorable, to determine if a graph is bipartite we simply pick a vertex v to begin coloring - then assign it Color 1. If the graph is bipartite, then the neighbors of v must be colored with Color 2. We continue in this way, coloring neighbors different colors (using only two colors total) until we either finish coloring the graph or we are forced to color two adjacent vertices the same way. If two adjacent vertices are forced to be colored the same way, then the graph cannot possibly be bipartite - since we have been forced to put adjacent vertices in the same set (or color). If we are able to finish coloring the graph - then it is bipartite and we now have a bipartite partitioning of the graph into two colored sets.
