Let V={1,2,…,n}. A mapping p:V→Rr, where p1,…,pnare not contained in a proper hyper-plane is called an r-configuration. Let G=(V,E) be a simple connected graph on n vertices. Then an r-configuration p together with graph G, where adjacent vertices of G are constrained to stay the same distance apart, is called a bar-and-joint framework (or a framework) in Rr, and is denoted by G(p). In this paper we introduce the notion of dimensional rigidity of frameworks, and we study the problem of determining whether or not a given G(p) is dimensionally rigid. A given framework G(p) in Rris said to be dimensionally rigid iff there does not exist a framework G(q) in Rsfor s⩾r+1, such that ∥qi-qj∥2=∥pi-pj∥2for all (i,j)∈E. We present necessary and sufficient conditions for G(p) to be dimensionally rigid, and we formulate the problem of checking the validity of these conditions as a semidefinite programming (SDP) problem. The case where the points p1,…,pnof the given r-configuration are in general position, is also investigated.
