In this paper, we pursue this analogy further in the context of linear equivalence of divisors. Database theory has a concept called functional dependency, written. The dots are called nodes or vertices and the lines are called edges. Using the log to close the gap is a natural idea, except that your problem stipulates that the numbers should be rational, which prevents using the log.
The graph with no vertices and no edges is sometimes called the null graph or empty graph, but the terminology is not consistent and not all mathematicians allow this object. Parallel edges in a graph produce identical columnsin its incidence matrix. A connected component is trivial if it consits of one vertex such a vertex is also called an isolated vertex.
