Bipartite Graph and Complete Bipartite Graph

Bipartite Graph

A bipartite graph is a graph whose vertices can be divided into two disjoint and independent sets U and V such that every edge connects a vertex in U to one in V.

Complete Bipartite Graph

A special kind of bipartite graph where every vertex of the first set is connected to every vertex of the second set.

Here, total vertices are 4 + 2 = 6 and so, edges = 4 x 2 = 8. This is a characteristics of complete bipartite graph.
