Theorem: Any tree is a bipartite graph

 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 .
