Null graph : ウィキペディア英語版
Null graph
In the mathematical field of graph theory, the term "null graph" may refer either to the order-zero graph, or alternatively, to any edgeless graph (the latter is sometimes called an "empty graph").
==Order-zero graph==

The order-zero graph, K_0, is the unique graph having no vertices (hence its order is zero). It follows that K_0 also has no edges. Some authors exclude K_0 from consideration as a graph (either by definition, or more simply as a matter of convenience). Whether including K_0 as a valid graph is useful depends on context. On the positive side, K_0 follows naturally from the usual set-theoretic definitions of a graph (it is the ordered pair (''V'', ''E'') for which the vertex and edge sets, ''V'' and ''E'', are both empty), in proofs it serves as a natural base case for mathematical induction, and similarly, in recursively defined data structures K_0 is useful for defining the base case for recursion (by treating the null tree as the child of missing edges in any non-null binary tree, every non-null binary tree has ''exactly'' two children). On the negative side, including K_0 as a graph requires that many well-defined formulas for graph properties include exceptions for it (for example, either "counting all strongly connected components of a graph" becomes "counting all ''non-null'' strongly connected components of a graph", or the definition of connected graphs has to be modified not to include ''K''0). To avoid the need for such exceptions, it is often assumed in literature that the term ''graph'' implies "graph with at least one vertex" unless context suggests otherwise.
In category theory, the order-zero graph is, according to some definitions of "category of graphs," the initial object in the category.
K_0 does fulfill (vacuously) most of the same basic graph properties as does K_1 (the graph with one vertex and no edges). As some examples, K_0 is of size zero, it is equal to its complement graph \overline, a forest, and a planar graph. It may be considered undirected, directed, or even both; when considered as directed, it is a directed acyclic graph. And it is both a complete graph and an edgeless graph. However, definitions for each of these graph properties will vary depending on whether context allows for K_0.
