초록

In general, the rigidity problem of braced rectangular frameworks is determined by the connectivity of the bipartite graph induced by given rectangular framework. In this paper, we study how to solve the rigidity problem of the braced rectangular framework using the Laplacian matrix of the matrix induced by a braced rectangular framework.
