Zero Group


The singleton set {0}, with respect to the trivial group structure defined by the addition 0+0=0. The element 0 is the additive identity element of the group, and also the additive inverse of itself.

The zero group is a minimal example of group, hence it is called a trivial group. Another example of trivial group is the multiplicative group {1}, where 1·1=1.
