Abstract

[A forest is an acyclic graph (that is, a graph with no cycles). The connected components of a forest are called trees. Therefore, a tree is a connected acyclic graph. In particular, any tree is a bipartite graph. A leaf is a vertex of degree one. In the figure below, we have a tree with seven leaves.]
