The problem of recognizing $(k,l)$-tight graphs is a fundamental problem that has close connections to well studied problems
like graph rigidity. The problem is better understood for planar graphs as compared to general graphs. For example, deterministic
NC-algorithms for the problem are known for planar graphs, but no such ...

Minimally rigid graphs can be recognized and embedded in the plane efficiently, i.e. in polynomial time. There is also an efficient randomized parallel algorithm, i.e. in RNC. We present NC-algorithms to recognize whether one-crossing-minor-free graphs are minimally rigid. In the special case of $K_{3,3}$-free graphs, we also compute an infinitesimally ... more >>>
