We use the symmetry-extended Maxwell rule established by Fowler and Guest to detect states of self-stress in symmetric planar frameworks. The dimension of the space of self-stresses that are detectable in this way may be expressed in terms…

We give a combinatorial characterization of generic frameworks that are minimally rigid under the additional constraint of maintaining symmetry with respect to a finite order rotation or a reflection. To establish these results we develop a…

We develop a rigidity theory for frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^3$ which have two coincident points but are otherwise generic and only infinitesimal motions which are tangential to a family of cylinders induced by the realisation are considered.…

We introduce a random matrix framework for studying statistical-mechanical lattice systems through spectral observables. Equilibrium configurations sampled from a Boltzmann measure are mapped to matrix ensembles whose covariance structure…

We give a combinatorial characterization of generic minimally rigid reflection frameworks. The main new idea is to study a pair of direction networks on the same graph such that one admits faithful realizations and the other has only…

In many applications involving binary variables, only pairwise dependence measures, such as correlations, are available. However, for multi-way tables involving more than two variables, these quantities do not uniquely determine the joint…

We extend the mathematical theory of rigidity of frameworks (graphs embedded in $d$-dimensional space) to consider nonlocal rigidity and flexibility properties. We provide conditions on a framework under which (I) as the framework flexes…

We present necessary and sufficient conditions for the generic rigidity of body-bar frameworks on the three-dimensional fixed torus. These frameworks correspond to infinite periodic body-bar frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with a fixed…

Here it is shown how to combine two generically globally rigid bar frameworks in $d$-space to get another generically globally rigid framework. The construction is to identify $d+1$ vertices from each of the frameworks and erase one of the…

We prove that the linear matroid that defines generic rigidity of $d$-dimensional body-rod-bar frameworks (i.e., structures consisting of disjoint bodies and rods mutually linked by bars) can be obtained from the union of ${d+1 \choose 2}$…

A bar framework determined by a finite graph $G$ and configuration $\bf p$ in $d$ space is universally rigid if it is rigid in any ${\mathbb R}^D \supset {\mathbb R}^d$. We provide a characterization of universally rigidity for any graph…

This paper proposes a unified approach for dynamic modeling and simulations of general tensegrity structures with rigid bars and rigid bodies of arbitrary shapes. The natural coordinates are adopted as a non-minimal description in terms of…

This paper extends graphic statics by describing the forces and moments in any 3D rigid-jointed frame structure in terms of cell complexes using homology theory of algebraic topology. Graphic statics provides a highly geometric way to…

We review various combinatorial applications of field theoretical and matrix model approaches to equilibrium statistical physics involving the enumeration of fixed and random lattice model configurations. We show how the structures of the…

This paper introduces new structures called conic frameworks and their rigidity. They are composed by agents and a set of directed constraints between pairs of agents. When the structure cannot be flexed while preserving the constraints, it…

We introduce the notion of strongly orthogonal set relative to an element in the sense of Birkhoff-James in a normed linear space to find a necessary and sufficient condition for an element $ x $ of the unit sphere $ S_{X}$ to be an exposed…

We present a new semidefinite Farkas lemma involving a side constraint on the rank. This lemma is then used to present a new proof of a recent characterization, by Connelly and Gortler, of dimensional rigidity of bar frameworks.

This paper studies the set of equivalent realizations of isostatic frameworks in two dimensions, and algorithms for finding all such realizations. We show that an isostatic framework has an even number of equivalent realizations that…

Let $P$ be a set of points and $L$ a set of lines in the (extended) Euclidean plane, and $I \subseteq P\times L$, where $i =(p,l) \in I$ means that point $p$ and line $l$ are incident. The incidences can be interpreted as quadratic…

This paper makes the following original contributions. First, we develop a unifying framework for testing shape restrictions based on the Wald principle. The test has asymptotic uniform size control and is uniformly consistent. Second, we…
