设Rd(G)是图G=(V,E)的d维刚性拟阵.设X ∈ V,i(X)为G中由X诱导的子图的边数.当G的最大度不超过d+2,最小度不超过d+1时,我们得到了确定Rd(G)中秩函数的一个极小极大公式.我们还证明了如果d是偶数且i(X)<$12 [(d+2)]| X|- (2d+2)],对于所有X ∈ V,|X|则E在Rd(G)中是独立的。我们推测后一结果对所有d 2都成立,并在d=3的特殊情况下证明了这一点。我们使用的独立性结果,甚至d表明,如果G的连通性是足够大的相比,d,然后E有大的Rd(G)的秩。我们用d=4的情形证明,如果G是10-连通的,那么G在R3上是刚性的,只需钉住它的四分之三的顶点.
Let Rd(G) be the d-dimensional rigidity matroid for a graph G=(V,E). For X⊆V let i(X) be the number of edges in the subgraph of G induced by X. We derive a min-max formula which determines the rank function in Rd(G) when G has maximum degree at most d+2 and minimum degree at most d+1. We also show that if d is even and i(X)⩽12[(d+2)|X|-(2d+2)] for all X⊆V with |X|⩾2 then E is independent in Rd(G). We conjecture that the latter result holds for all d⩾2 and prove this for the special case when d=3. We use the independence result for even d to show that if the connectivity of G is sufficiently large in comparison to d then E has large rank in Rd(G). We use the case d=4 to show that, if G is 10-connected, then G can be made rigid in R3by pinning down approximately three quarters of its vertices.
