We regard a graph G as a set {1,…, v} together with a nonempty set E of two-element subsets of {1,…, v}. Let p=(p 1,…, p v) be an element of R nv representing v points in R n and consider the realization G (p) of G in R n consisting of the line segments [p i, p j] in R n for {i, j} ϵ E. The figure G (p) is said to be rigid in R n if every continuous path in R nv, beginning at p and preserving the edge lengths of G (p), terminates at a point q ϵ R nv which is the image (Tp 1,…, Tp v) of p under an isometry T of R n. We here study the rigidity and infinitesimal rigidity of graphs, surfaces, and more general structures. A graph theoretic method for determining the rigidity of graphs in R 2 is discussed, followed by an examination of the rigidity of convex polyhedral surfaces in R 3.
