Original question and givens

Use a complete simple undirected graph on Fin(0)=∅ with raw edges=[]. Endpoints are typed and loops are prohibited. Reversed or repeated edges count once; normalize endpoints and edge order. Do not infer adjacency from a drawing. A tree is nonempty, connected and acyclic. Edge count alone does not decide this. The empty graph is not a tree; a singleton is a tree, but its degree-0 vertex is not a leaf. Preserve original vertex labels after deletion. Give (n, normalized edges, sorted components, are all vertex pairs mutually reachable?, any cycle?, nonempty?, tree?). The pairwise condition is vacuously true on the empty vertex set.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

n=0;raw edges=[]

After

canonical edges=[]

Conditions: none

Validate every simple undirected edge for typed distinct endpoints.Sort endpoints and count reversed or repeated edges once;do not infer adjacency from a drawing.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: simple_graph_edge_normalization · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

phase=original;spanning forest=[];all edges=[]

After

nonforest edges=[];cyclic=No

Conditions: none

First-discovery edges form a tree in each reached component.Any remaining edge closes an existing tree path into a cycle.Components were established first;this is not an edge-count-only tree test.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: spanning_forest_cycle_witness · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

phase=original;vertices=[];components=[];cyclic=No

After

pairwise reachable=Yes;nonempty=No;tree=No

Conditions: none

A tree must be nonempty,have one component and be acyclic.Pairwise reachability is vacuously true on an empty vertex set,but nonemptiness fails.A singleton with no edges is a tree;its degree0 vertex is not a leaf.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: nonempty_connected_acyclic_tree_gate · Uses: G001, S002

Reverse checks

  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

(0, [], [], Yes, No, No, No)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
