Symbol functions for symmetric frameworks

From MaRDI portal
Publication:1996309



Abstract: We prove a variant of the well-known result that intertwiners for the bilateral shift on `ell2(Z) are unitarily equivalent to multiplication operators on L2(T). This enables us to unify and extend fundamental aspects of rigidity theory for bar-joint frameworks with an abelian symmetry group. In particular, we formulate the symbol function for a wide class of frameworks and show how to construct generalised rigid unit modes in a variety of new contexts.
