The Henneberg 2-extension conjecture in three-dimensional rigidity
The Henneberg 2-extension conjecture in three-dimensional rigidity
Let be a generically 3-isostatic graph, and let satisfy
Let and be distinct edges whose vertices lie in . An implied is a complete graph on four vertices formed by implied edges of a graph. The Henneberg 2-extension conjecture. If contains no implied whose vertex set is a subset of , then the Henneberg extension obtained by removing and and adjoining a vertex with neighbour set is generically 3-rigid. This is the open Henneberg Conjecture of Graver, Tay and Whiteley, concerning sufficient conditions for preserving generic rigidity under three-dimensional Henneberg 2-extensions; the corresponding planar theory is well understood through Laman's theorem, but the three-dimensional case remains open.
