The space of parallel linear networks with a fixed boundary
Let \(G\) be a connected graph presented as a finite one-dimensional cell complex and let \(\partial G\) be the boundary of \(G\) (i.e., a subset of the vertex set of \(G\)). A network \(\Gamma: G\to\mathbb{R}^N\) is linear if all its edges are rectilinear segments. Two networks \(\Gamma\) and \(\Gamma'\) are parallel if the vectors \(\Gamma(e)\) and \(\Gamma'(e)\) are colinear for every edge \(e\) in \(G\). Given \(G\) and its boundary \(\partial G\), the authors study families of parallel linear networks in the Euclidean space \(\mathbb{R}^N\) with the same topology \(G\) and the fixed boundary \(\partial G\) (i.e., all networks in each family have all boundary points fixed). They show that every family is a convex polyhedron in the configuration space. A calculation for the dimension of this polyhedron is also made.
