Rigid components in fixed-lattice and cone frameworks

Abstract: We study the fundamental algorithmic rigidity problems for generic frameworks periodic with respect to a fixed lattice or a finite-order rotation in the plane. For fixed-lattice frameworks we give an $O(n^2)$ algorithm for deciding generic rigidity and an O(n^3) algorithm for computing rigid components. If the order of rotation is part of the input, we give an O(n^4) algorithm for deciding rigidity; in the case where the rotation's order is 3, a more specialized algorithm solves all the fundamental algorithmic rigidity problems in O(n^2) time.
