Rigidity and flexibility of structures (aspects of discrete geometry) (52C25) Crystalline structure (74E15)

Abstract: Four sets of necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the first-order rigidity of a periodic bond-node framework C in R^d which is of crystallographic type. In particular, an extremal rank characterisation is obtained which incorporates a multi-variable matrix-valued transfer function Psi_C(z) defined on the product space C^d_* = (C{0})^d. In general the first-order flex space is shown to be the closed linear span of polynomially weighted geometric velocity fields whose geometric multi-factors in C^d_* lie in a finite set. Paradoxically, first-order rigid crystal frameworks may possess nontrivial nondifferentiable continuous motions. The examples given are associated with aperiodic displacive phase transitions between periodic states.
