24. A (general) **bipartite graph** $G$ is a simple graph whose vertex set can
be partitioned into two disjoint nonempty subsets $V_1$ and $V_2$ such that
vertices in $V_1$ may be connected to vertices in $V_2$, but no vertices in
$V_1$ and no vertices in $V_2$ are connected to other vertices in $V_2$. For
example, the bipartite graph $G$ illustrated in (i) can be redrawn as shown
in (ii). From the drawing in (ii), you can see that $G$ is bipartite with
mutually disjoint vertex sets $V_w = \{v_1, v_3, v_5\}$ and
$V_2 = \{v_2, v_4, v_6\}$.
(i) See Page 266
(ii) See Page 266
Find which of the following graphs are bipartite. Redraw the bipartite graphs so
that their bipartite nature is evident.
See Page 266.
25. Suppose $r$ and $s$ are any positive integers. Does there exist a graph $G$
with the property that $G$ has vertices of degrees $r$ and $s$ and no other
degrees? Explain.

**Definition**
The total degree of a graph is the sum of the degrees of all the vertices of the
graph.

**Theorem 4.9.1 The Handshake Theorem**
If $G$ is any graph, then the sum of the degrees of all the vertices of $G$
equals twice the number of edges of $G$. Specifically, if the vertices of $G$
are $v_1, v^2, \dots v_n$, where $n$ is a nonnegative integer, then
$$ \text{the total degree of } G = \text{deg}(v_1) + \text{deg}(v_2) + \dots + \text{deg}(v_n) $$
$$ = 2 \cdot (\text{the number of edges of } G) $$
**Proof:**
Let $G$ be a particular but arbitrarily chosen graph, and suppose that $G$ has
$n$ vertices $v_1, v_2, \dots v_n$ and $m$ edges, where $n$ is a positive
integer and $m$ is a nonnegative integer. We claim that each edge of $G$
contributes $2$ to the total degree of $G$. For suppose $e$ is an arbitrarily
chosen edge with endpoints $v_i$ and $v_j$. This edge contributes $1$ to the
degree of $v_i$ and $1$ to the degree of $v_j$. As shown below, this is true
even if $i = j$, because an edge that is a loop is counted twice in computing
the degree of the vertex on which it is incident.
(see Page 259)
Therefore, $e$ contributes $2$ to the total degree of $G$. Since $e$ was
arbitrarily chosen, this shows that _each_ edge of $G$ contributes $2$ to the
total degree of $G$. Thus
$$ \text{the total degree of } G = 2 \cdot (\text{the number of edges of } G) $$

**Corollary 4.9.2**
The total degree of a graph is even.
**Proof:** By Theorem 4.9.1 the total degree of $G$ equals $2$ times the number
of edges of $G$, which is an integer, and so the total degree of $G$ is even.
---
Page 260
**Proposition 4.9.3**
In any graph there is an even number of vertices of odd degree.
**Proof:** Suppose $G$ is any graph, and suppose $G$ has $n$ vertices of odd
degree and $m$ vertices of even degree, where $n$ is a positive integer and $m$
is a nonnegative integer. _[We must show that $n$ is even.]_ Let $E$ be the sum
of the degrees of all the vertices of even degree, $O$ the sum of the degrees of
all the vertices of odd degree, and $T$ the total degree of $G$. If
$u_1, u_2, \dots, u_m$ are the vertices of even degree and
$v_1, v_2, \dots, v_n$ are the vertices of odd degree, then
$$ E = \text{deg}(u_1) + \text{deg}(u_2) + \dots + \text{deg}(u_m), $$
$$ O = \text{deg}(v_1) + \text{deg}(v_2) + \dots + \text{deg}(v_m), \text{ and} $$
$$ T = \text{deg}(u_1) + \dots + \text{deg}(u_m) + \text{deg}(v_1) + \dots + \text{deg}(v_n) = E + 0 $$
Now $T$, the total degree of $G$, is an even integer by Corollary 4.9.2. Also
$E$ is even since either $E$ is zero, which is even, or $E$ is a sum of even
numbers. Now since
$$ T = E + O $$
then
$$ O = T - E $$
Hence $O$ is a difference of two even integers, and so $O$ is even.
By assumption, $\text{deg}(v_i)$ is odd for every integer $i = 1, 2, \dots, n$.
Thus $O$, an even integer, is a sum of the $n$ odd integers
$\text{deg}(v_1), \text{deg}(v_2), \dots, \text{deg}(v_n)$. But if a sum of $n$
odd integers is even, then $n$ is even. Therefore, $n$ is even _[as was to be
shown]._
