Theorem: Any tree is a bipartite graph
Proof: select a vertex as the root and color it white .
Vertices in the first stage ( children of the root first level ) are colored black.
Vertices in the second stage ( second level ) are colored white.
We continue this process and color vertices in successive levels with different colors
( white & black ).
Since our graph is a tree, then vertices in the same level are not adjacent
( If any vertices of the same level are adjacent we get a cycle ).
Thus a tree is a bipartite graph .
