Can $\emptyset$ be reducible to any other language? While solving some question, that involved the empty set $\emptyset$, I was really wondering, is $\emptyset$ reducible to any other language, i.e., $\emptyset \leq A$ such that $A$ is a language over a given alphabet $\Sigma^*$?

I mean, one can never take $x \in \emptyset$, right? or am I missing anything?

Maybe $\emptyset \leq \emptyset$? because if I take a reduction $f$ such that $x \in \emptyset \Leftrightarrow f(x) \in \emptyset$, this is always true, because $x \in \emptyset$ is never true and $f(x) \in \emptyset$ is also never true, so that function is a reduction function in the empty-concept, no?
$\emptyset$ can be reduced to any other language $L$ except&nbsp;$\Sigma^*$.

Remember that a reduction from $L_1$ to $L_2$ has to map "yes" instances of $L_1$ to "yes" instances of $L_2$ and "no" instances of $L_1$ to "no" instances of $L_2$.  Every input is a "no" instance of the language $\emptyset$ so, to reduce $\emptyset$ to any $L\neq \Sigma^*$, you just need to choose some word $w\notin L$ and your reduction maps everything to&nbsp;$w$.  Obviously, for $L=\Sigma^*$, this doesn't work because there's no $w$ you could use.

Similarly, $\Sigma^*$ can be reduced to any other language except&nbsp;$\emptyset$.
