Describe an algorithm to decide whether a graph is bipartite based on the fact that a graph is bipartite if and only if it is possible to color its vertices two different colors so that no two vertices of the same color are adjacent.

Graph Terminology and Special Types of Graphs
From Exercise 5.9.24 you know that choosing a bad ordering of the vertices of a graph can lead to the First Fit coloring algorithm producing a coloring that is far from optimal. However, you can use this algorithm to prove a bound on the chromatic number. Show that if every vertex of G has degree at most D, then χ(G) ≤ D + 1. Give an example of a bipartite graph with D = 1000 to show that this bound need not be tight.
