Added: In some variations of set theory, we may want to have more than one thing without members, and these are called ur-elements. The Axiom of Extensionality can then be modified to allow for more than one "empty set", while still allowing us to compare and identify things that have members belonging to them.

First problem I encountered: How the definition of "Empty set" is consistent with the definition of "sets" if "Empty set" contains nothing and a "set" is a collection of objects. Further we discovered in set theory that every set has a subset that is the Null set. Such as,
Is the empty set linearly independent or linearly dependent?
Jun 5, 2016 · If a set is linearly dependent, then there would be a nontrivial linear combination of the vectors in the family that added up to the zero vector. It is also impossible to choose a vector in the empty set and write it as a linear combination of the other vectors in the empty set, since the empty family is empty.

real analysis - Is $(a,a]=\{\emptyset\}$? - Mathematics Stack …
Aug 4, 2015 · No. Because $\emptyset$, the empty set, is not a real number, i.e. it is not an element of $\mathbb R$, the set $\{\emptyset\}$ is not a subset of $\mathbb R$. ON the other hand, $(a,a]$ is a subset of $\mathbb R$, so there can be no equality. You are close, though, since $(a,a]$ is the empty set, so $(a,a]=\emptyset=\{\}$.
