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…

Given a graph $G$, a cost function on the non-edges of $G$, and an integer $d$, the problem of finding a cheapest globally rigid supergraph of $G$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is NP-hard for $d\geq 1$. For this problem, which is a common…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is called $d$-rigid if, for a generic embedding of its vertices in $\mathbb{R}^d$, every edge-length preserving continuous motion of the vertices preserves the distances between all pairs of non-adjacent vertices as well.…

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 graph is said to be globally rigid if almost all embeddings of the graph's vertices in the Euclidean plane will define a system of edge-length equations with a unique (up to isometry) solution. In 2007, Jackson, Servatius and Servatius…

A rigidity theory is developed for the Euclidean and non-Euclidean placements of countably infinite simple graphs in R^d with respect to the classical l^p norms, for d>1 and 1<p<\infty. Generalisations are obtained for the Laman and…

We present three results which support the conjecture that a graph is minimally rigid in $d$-dimensional $\ell_p$-space, where $p\in (1,\infty)$ and $p\not=2$, if and only if it is $(d,d)$-tight. Firstly, we introduce a graph bracing…

We consider the global rigidity problem for bar-joint frameworks where each vertex is constrained to lie on a particular line in $\mathbb R^d$. In our setting we allow multiple vertices to be constrained to the same line. Under a mild…

We show that any graph that is generically globally rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ has a realization in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that is both generic and universally rigid. This also implies that the graph also must have a realization in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that…

We prove that every (6k + 2l, 2k)-connected simple graph contains k rigid and l connected edge-disjoint spanning subgraphs. This implies a theorem of Jackson and Jord\'an [4] and a theorem of Jord\'an [6] on packing of rigid spanning…

A graph is \textit{rigid} if it only admits the identity endomorphism. We show that for every $d\ge 3$ there exist infinitely many mutually rigid $d$-regular graphs of arbitrary odd girth $g\geq 7$. Moreover, we determine the minimum order…

Jord\'an and Tanigawa recently introduced the $d$-dimensional algebraic connectivity $a_d(G)$ of a graph $G$. This is a quantitative measure of the $d$-dimensional rigidity of $G$ which generalizes the well-studied notion of spectral…

A $d$-dimensional framework is a pair $(G,p)$, where $G=(V,E)$ is a graph and $p$ is a map from $V$ to $\mathbb{R}^d$. The length of an edge $xy\in E$ in $(G,p)$ is the distance between $p(x)$ and $p(y)$. A vertex pair $\{u,v\}$ of $G$ is…

A bar-joint framework $(G,p)$ in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^d$ is globally rigid if it is the unique realisation, up to rigid congruences, of $G$ in $\mathbb{E}^d$ with the edge lengths of $(G,p)$. Building on key results of…

A $d$-dimensional framework is a pair $(G,p)$, where $G=(V,E)$ is a graph and $p$ is a map from $V$ to $\mathbb{R}^d$. The length of an edge $uv\in E$ in $(G,p)$ is the distance between $p(u)$ and $p(v)$. The framework is said to be…

Tanigawa (2016) showed that vertex-redundant rigidity of a graph implies its global rigidity in arbitrary dimension. We extend this result to periodic graphs under fixed lattice representations. A periodic graph is vertex-redundantly rigid…

A bar-joint framework $(G,p)$ in Euclidean $d$-space is rigid if the only edge-length-preserving continuous motions arise from isometries of $\mathbb{R}^d$. In the generic case, rigidity is determined by the generic $d$-dimensional rigidity…

In this work we establish several monotonicity and decomposition results in the framework of random regular graphs. Among other results, we show that, for a wide range of parameters $d_1 \leq d_2$, there exists a coupling of $G(n,d_1)$ and…
