Order of cycles in graph

391 Views Asked by At

In a school assignment, I am to use contradiction to prove that if a graph is bipartite then all of its cycles have even order. In this context, what does it mean for a cycle to have even order? I tried using google and Wikipedia, but I am no closer to understanding what it means. Could you please explain it?

Assume that $G$ contains only cycles of odd order. Then $G$ is not bipartite since the $V(G)$ cannot be partitioned into two partite sets, $U$ and $W$ such that the edges of $G$ join a vertex of $U$ to a vertex of $W$. Consider the $5$-cycle $C_5$ and this will be more clear.
