Motivated by a rigidity-theoretic perspective on the Localization Problem in 2D, we develop an algorithm for computing circuit polynomials in the algebraic rigidity matroid associated to the Cayley-Menger ideal for $n$ points in 2D. We introduce combinatorial resultants, a new operation on graphs that captures properties of the Sylvester resultant of two polynomials in the algebraic rigidity matroid. We show that every rigidity circuit has a construction tree from $K_4$ graphs based on this operation. Our algorithm performs an algebraic elimination guided by the construction tree, and uses classical resultants, factorization and ideal membership. To demonstrate its effectiveness, we implemented our algorithm in Mathematica: it took less than 15 seconds on an example where a Groebner Basis calculation took 5 days and 6 hrs.
A bar-joint framework $(G,p)$ in $mathbb{R}^d$ is rigid if the only edge-length preserving continuous motions of the vertices arise from isometries of $mathbb{R}^d$. It is known that, when $(G,p)$ is generic, its rigidity depends only on the underlyi
We study conditional independence (CI) models in statistical theory, in the case of discrete random variables, from the point of view of algebraic geometry and matroid theory. Any CI model with hidden random variables corresponds to a variety defined
The Neighbor-Joining algorithm is a popular distance-based phylogenetic method that computes a tree metric from a dissimilarity map arising from biological data. Realizing dissimilarity maps as points in Euclidean space, the algorithm partitions the
We show Kantors conjecture (1974) holds in rank 4. This proves both the sticky matroid conjecture of Poljak and Turzik (1982) and the whole Kantors conjecture, due to an argument of Bachem, Kern, and Bonin, and an equivalence argument of Hochstattler and Wilhelmi, respectively.
We showed in the first paper of this series that the generic $C_2^1$-cofactor matroid is the unique maximal abstract $3$-rigidity matroid. In this paper we obtain a combinatorial characterization of independence in this matroid. This solves the cofac
