Stoker-type conjecture for infinitesimal dihedral-angle rigidity of polytopes
Stoker-type conjecture for infinitesimal dihedral-angle rigidity of polytopes
Let be a differentiable one-parameter family of oriented piecewise-linear surfaces. For each facet , let be its unit normal and its volume, and define the dihedral angle between adjacent facets and by . Dots denote derivatives at . Stoker-type conjecture. If for all facets adjacent at , then
This is the explicit conjectural formulation of the stress-flex reformulation and is equivalent to the preceding statement in the source. The surrounding article resolves the weak stress-flex version for polytopes, while the broader Stoker-type formulation is the claim identified here.
