A note on generic rigidity of graphs in higher dimension

Tibor Jordán



Abstract

The characterization of rigid graphs in $\R^d$ is known only in the low dimensional cases ($d=1,2$) and is a major open problem in higher dimensions. In this note we consider the other extreme case when $d$ is close to $n$, the number of vertices of the graph. It turns out that there is a fairly simple characterization as long as $n-d$ is at most four. We also characterize globally rigid graphs in this range.
