Abstract

In this paper, we propose an inductive construction of minimally rigid body-hinge simple graphs. Inductive construction is one of well-studied topics in Combinatorics and Combinatorial Optimization. We develop an inductive construction for minimally rigid body-hinge simple graphs in d-dimension with dā€‰ā‰„ā€‰3 by which we can develop a polynomial-time algorithm for enumerating all minimally rigid body-hinge simple graphs.
