    • Constructing isostatic frameworks for the l1 and l infinity plane (Pre-published) 

      Clinch, Katie; Kitson, Derek (Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2020-06-12)
      We use a new coloured multi-graph constructive method to prove that if the edge-set of a graph G = (V,E) has a partition into two spanning trees T1 and T2 then there is a map p : V → R2, p(v) = (p(v)1,p(v)2), such that ...

    • Graph rigidity for unitarily invariant matrix norms (Pre-published) 

      Kitson, Derek; Levene, Rupert H (Elsevier, 2020-11-15)
      A rigidity theory is developed for bar-joint frameworks in linear matrix spaces endowed with a unitarily invariant matrix norm. Analogues of Maxwell's counting criteria are obtained and minimally rigid matrix frameworks ...

    • Rigidity of symmetric frameworks in normed spaces 

      Kitson, Derek; Nixon, Anthony; Schulze, Bernd (Elsevier, 2020-12-15)
      We develop a combinatorial rigidity theory for symmetric bar-joint frameworks in a general finite dimensional normed space. In the case of rotational symmetry, matroidal Maxwell-type sparsity counts are identified for a ...
