# On infinite bipartite graphs with no infinite rays

I'm working on a problem in logic and it reduces to proving that a certain infinite graph is connected. The graph has the following properties:

1. It is bipartite
2. It is not necessarily finite (or countable or locally finite).
3. It has no degree zero vertices
4. It has no infinite rays
5. It is acylic

My question is a bit open-ended. I am finding it difficult to prove the connectedness. I was wondering if there are any necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure connectedness. In other words, if I could try proving a property on graph that is equivalent to its connectedness.

• given any graph $G$ with the properties you gave, can't you just consider the graph $G\sqcup G$, which is just two disjoint copies of $G$? I think $G\sqcup G$ will also satisfy all the properties you gave but will not be connected. Apr 22 at 18:37
• @mathworker21 I am asserting that any graph with these properties is connected. I want to know if there is some property P (that is weaker than connectedness in general) such that such a graph satisfies P iff it is connected. Apr 23 at 21:20
