Add partial answer to 8.25 and a gitignore.
See https://proofwiki.org/wiki/Graph_is_Bipartite_iff_No_Odd_Cycles for more information. I also added a gitignore to ignore the pdf and log and other artifacts of compiling .tex files.

\item[8.25] An undirected graph is \textbf{bipartite} if its nodes may be divided | ||
into two sets so that all edges go from a node in one set to a node in the other set. | ||
Show that a graph is bipartite if and only if it doesn't contain a cycle that has | ||
an odd number of nodes. | ||
|
||
Let $BIPARTITE = \{ \langle G \rangle | \ G$ is a bipartite graph \}. Show that | ||
$BIPARTITE \in$ NL. | ||
\\ | ||
\textbf{Solution:} | ||
Let $G=(V,E)$ be bipartite. | ||
|
||
So, let $V=A \cup B$ such that $A \cap B = \emptyset$ and that all edges $e \in E$ | ||
are such that $e$ is of the form $\{a,b\}$ where $a \in A$ and $b \in B$. | ||
|
||
(This is the definition of a bipartite graph.) | ||
|
||
Suppose $G$ has (at least) one odd cycle $C$. | ||
|
||
Let the length of $C$ be $n$. | ||
|
||
Let $C=(v_1,v_2,…,v_n,v_1)$. | ||
|
||
WLOG, let $v_1 \in A$. It follows that $v_2 \in B$ and hence $v_3 \in A$, and so on. | ||
|
||
Hence we see that $\forall k \in \{1,2,…,n\}$, we have: | ||
|
||
:$v_k \in \begin{cases} | ||
A : & k \text{ odd} \\ | ||
B : & k \text{ even} | ||
\end{cases}$ | ||
|
||
But as $n$ is odd, $v_n \in A$. | ||
|
||
But $v_1 \in A$, and $(v_n,v_1) \in C_n$. | ||
|
||
So $(v_n, v_1) \in E$ which contradicts the assumption that $G$ is bipartite. | ||
|
||
Hence if $G$ is bipartite, it has no odd cycles. | ||
|
||
\textbf{Note}: This only proves one direction of the iff, to complete the proof we will need | ||
to show that having no odd cycles implies that a graph is bipartite and show that | ||
$BIPARTITE \in$ NL. | ||
