Blockchain Algorithm

Is it theoretical possible to complete a BTC-block if there are no transactions?
That means to solve the difficulty just by the previous hash and the nonce. Or is there also a requirement regarding to transactions by the algorithm?

Thank you very much for your explanation.

Yes, that's possible and legal.

But it does not make any sense to "avoid" the income of 5.000 to 15.000 USD these days: https://fork.lol/reward/fees

The afford to create the block is only for the first build harder - every try to calculate the hash with another nonce is equal for full and empty blocks.

... btw.: this is one reason why transaction fees keep any network alive.
