Generic Global Rigidity

چکیده

Suppose a finite configuration of labeled points p = (p1, . . . , pn) inEd is given along with certain pairs of those points determined by a graph G such that the coordinates of the points of p are generic, i.e., algebraically independent over the integers. If another corresponding configuration q = (q1, . . . , qn) in Ed is given such that the corresponding edges of G for p and q have the same length, we provide a sufficient condition to ensure that p and q are congruent in Ed . This condition, together with recent results of Jackson and Jordán [JJ], give necessary and sufficient conditions for a graph being generically globally rigid in the plane.

Generic Global Rigidity in Complex and Pseudo-Euclidean Spaces

In this paper we study the property of generic global rigidity for frameworks of graphs embedded in d-dimensional complex space and in a d-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space (R with a metric of indefinite signature). We show that a graph is generically globally rigid in Euclidean space iff it is generically globally rigid in a complex or pseudo-Euclidean space. We also establish that global rig...

The Rigidity of New Classes of Graphs

We examine the generic local and global rigidity of various graphs in R. We analyze two classes of graphs that satisfy Hendrickson’s conditions for generic global rigidity, yet fail to be generically globally rigid. We find a large family of bipartite graphs with d > 3, and we use a method that generates infinitely many graphs in R. Finally, we state some conjectures for further exploration.

On the universal rigidity of generic bar frameworks

In this paper, we present a sufficient condition for the universal rigidity of a generic bar framework G(p) in terms of the Gale matrix Z corresponding to G(p). We also establish a relationship between the stress matrix S and the Gale matrix Z for bar frameworks. This allows us to translate back and forth between S and Z in recently obtained results concerning universal rigidity, global rigidit...

On Global Rigidity and Universal Rigidity of Generic Bar Frameworks with Few Vertices

Gale transform was successfully used to classify polytopes with few vertices; that is, r-dimensional polytopes with r + k vertices, where k is small. In this paper, we use Gale transform to classify r-dimensional generic bar frameworks with r + k vertices, where k ≤ 4; as universally rigid, globally rigid or nonglobally rigid.

The 2-dimensional rigidity of certain families of graphs

Laman’s characterization of minimally rigid 2-dimensional generic frameworks gives a matroid structure on the edge set of the underlying graph, as was first pointed out and exploited by L. Lovász and Y. Yemini. Global rigidity has only recently been characterized by a combination of two results due to T. Jordán and the first named author, and R. Connelly, respectively. We use these characteriza...

Operations Preserving Global Rigidity of Generic Direction-Length Frameworks

A two-dimensional direction-length framework is a pair (G, p), where G = (V ;D,L) is a graph whose edges are labeled as ‘direction’ or ‘length’ edges, and a map p from V to R. The label of an edge uv represents a direction or length constraint between p(u) and p(v). The framework (G, p) is called globally rigid if every other framework (G, q) in which the direction or length between the endvert...
