Bipartite graph

Graph divided into two independent sets

Bipartite graph

In the mathematical field of graph theory, a bipartite graph (or bigraph) is a graph whose vertices can be divided into two disjoint and independent sets U {\displaystyle U} and V {\displaystyle V} , that is, every edge connects a vertex in U {\displaystyle U} to one in V {\displaystyle V} . Vertex sets U {\displaystyle U} and V {\displaystyle V} are usually called the parts of the graph. Equivalently, a bipartite graph is a graph that does not contain any odd-length cycles.
