Abstract

We consider the problem of characterising the generic rigidity of bar-joint
frameworks in R
d
in which each vertex is constrained to lie in a given affine subspace.
The special case when d = 2 was previously solved by I. Streinu and L. Theran in 2010
and the case when each vertex is constrained to lie in an affine subspace of dimension t,
and d ≥ t(t − 1) was solved by Cruickshank, Guler and the first two authors in 2019. We
extend the latter result by showing that the given characterisation holds whenever d ≥ 2t.
