/**
 * This class provides a method to check if a given undirected graph is bipartite using Depth-First Search (DFS).
 * A bipartite graph is a graph whose vertices can be divided into two disjoint sets such that no two vertices
 * within the same set are adjacent. In other words, all edges must go between the two sets.
 *
 * The implementation leverages DFS to attempt to color the graph using two colors. If we can color the graph such
 * that no two adjacent vertices have the same color, the graph is bipartite.
 *
 * Example:
 * Input (Adjacency Matrix):
 * {{0, 1, 0, 1},
 *  {1, 0, 1, 0},
 *  {0, 1, 0, 1},
 *  {1, 0, 1, 0}}
 *
 * Output: YES (This graph is bipartite)
 *
 * Input (Adjacency Matrix):
 * {{0, 1, 1, 0},
 *  {1, 0, 1, 0},
 *  {1, 1, 0, 1},
 *  {0, 0, 1, 0}}
 *
 * Output: NO (This graph is not bipartite)
