Summary

Xiaofeng Gu (University of Western Georgia) Rigidity and applications in graph theory

Full Description

Abstract: Rigidity, arising from mechanics, is the property of a framework that does not flex. A combinatorial characterization of rigidity in the Euclidean plane has been obtained by Laman in 1970. In this talk, we will present sufficient conditions of rigidity as well as some applications in graph theory.
