We consider the rigidity and global rigidity of bar-joint frameworks in Euclidean $d$-space under additional dilation constraints in specified coordinate directions. In this setting we obtain a complete characterisation of generic rigidity.…
A linearly constrained framework in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is a bar-joint framework where, in addition, vertices with loops are constrained to lie in given affine subspaces. In the generic case, when each vertex is incident to sufficiently many…
We consider the problem of characterising the generic rigidity of bar-joint frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^d$ in which each vertex is constrained to lie in a given affine subspace. The special case when $d=2$ was previously solved by I. Streinu…
A linearly constrained framework in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is a point configuration together with a system of constraints which fixes the distances between some pairs of points and additionally restricts some of the points to lie in given affine…
A framework (a straight-line embedding of a graph into a normed space allowing edges to cross) is globally rigid if any other framework with the same edge lengths with respect to the chosen norm is an isometric copy. We investigate global…
We develop a rigidity theory for bar-joint frameworks in Euclidean $d$-space in which specified classes of edges are allowed to change length in a coordinated fashion that requires differences of lengths to be preserved within each class.…
We show that universal rigidity of a generic bar and joint framework (G,p) in the line depends on more than the ordering of the vertices. In particular, we construct examples of one-dimensional generic frameworks with the same graph and…
We investigate how to find generic and globally rigid realizations of graphs in $\mathbb{R}^d$ based on elementary geometric observations. Our arguments lead to new proofs of a combinatorial characterization of the global rigidity of graphs…

A bar-joint framework $(G,p)$ is the combination of a finite simple graph $G=(V,E)$ and a placement $p:V\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^d$. The framework is rigid if the only edge-length preserving continuous motions of the vertices arise from…
In "Universal rigidity on the line, point orde" it is shown, answering a question of Jord\'an and Nguyen, that universal rigidity of a generic bar-joint framework in R^1 depends on more than the ordering of the vertices. The graph G that…
A d-dimensional framework is an embedding of the vertices and edges of a graph in Euclidean space. A d-dimensional framework is globally rigid if every other d-dimensional framework with the same edge lengths has the same pairwise distances…
A rigidity theory is developed for frameworks in a metric space with two types of distance constraints. Mixed sparsity graph characterisations are obtained for the infinitesimal and continuous rigidity of completely regular bar-joint…
In 1992, Hendrickson proved that (d+1)-connectivity and redundant rigidity are necessary conditions for a generic (non-complete) bar-joint framework to be globally rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Jackson and Jordan confirmed in 2005 that these…
A rigidity theory is developed for bar-joint frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ whose vertices are constrained to lie on concentric $d$-spheres with independently variable radii. In particular, combinatorial characterisations are established…
A $d$-dimensional bar-and-joint framework $(G,p)$ with underlying graph $G$ is called universally rigid if all realizations of $G$ with the same edge lengths, in all dimensions, are congruent to $(G,p)$. A graph $G$ is said to be…
A theorem of Laman gives a combinatorial characterisation of the graphs that admit a realisation as a minimally rigid generic bar-joint framework in $\bR^2$. A more general theory is developed for frameworks in $\bR^3$ whose vertices are…
A d-dimensional framework is a graph and a map from its vertices to E^d. Such a framework is globally rigid if it is the only framework in E^d with the same graph and edge lengths, up to rigid motions. For which underlying graphs is a…
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…
A $d$-dimensional (bar-and-joint) framework $(G,p)$ consists of a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a realisation $p:V\to \mathbb{R}^d$. It is rigid if every continuous motion of the vertices which preserves the lengths of the edges is induced by an…
