Is Graph Bipartite?
published on 4/29/2022There is an undirected graph with n nodes, where each node is numbered between 0 and n - 1. You are given a 2D array graph, where graph[u] is an array of nodes that node u is adjacent to. More formally, for each v in graph[u], there is an undirected edge between node u and node v. The graph has the following properties:
There are no self-edges (graph[u] does not contain u). There are no parallel edges (graph[u] does not contain duplicate values). If v is in graph[u], then u is in graph[v] (the graph is undirected). The graph may not be connected, meaning there may be two nodes u and v such that there is no path between them. A graph is bipartite if the nodes can be partitioned into two independent sets A and B such that every edge in the graph connects a node in set A and a node in set B.
Return true if and only if it is bipartite.
Example 1:
Input: graph = [[1,2,3],[0,2],[0,1,3],[0,2]]Output: falseExplanation: There is no way to partition the nodes into two independent sets such that every edge connects a node in one and a node in the other.
Input: graph = [[1,3],[0,2],[1,3],[0,2]]Output: trueExplanation: We can partition the nodes into two sets: {0, 2} and {1, 3}.
Constraints:
- graph.length == n
- 1 <= n <= 100
- 0 <= graph[u].length < n
- 0 <= graph[u][i] <= n - 1
- graph[u] does not contain u.
- All the values of graph[u] are unique.
- If graph[u] contains v, then graph[v] contains u.
Intuition:
- If a graph has an odd length cycle, then it's not a bipartite graph.
- If it doesn't have an odd length cycle, then it's a bipartite graph.
Solution in DFS:
Solution explanation:
- Initialize the color array with -1
- We can use a color array to mark the nodes, wether colored or not.
- We can use DFS to check if the graph is bipartite.
- If the node is not colored, then we color its with 1.
- And run DFS on its neighbors.
- If the current node is not colored, then assign it with 1-color[node]
- If the node is colored,and its equal to the previous node color then it's not bipartite.
