Abstract

Whiteley \cite{wh} gives a complete characterization of the infinitesimal flexes of complete bipartite frameworks. Our work generalizes a specific infinitesimal flex to include joined graphs, a family of graphs that contain the complete bipartite graphs. We use this characterization to identify new families of counterexamples, including infinite families, in R5\R^5 and above to Hendrickson's conjecture on generic global rigidity.
