Original question and givens

Use a complete simple undirected graph on Fin(5)={0,…,4} with raw edges=[[1, 2]]. 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.
