Abstract

Some formulas are given that describe how the lengths of diagonals of algorithmically 1-para-metric polyhedra and their volumes depend on the bending parameter. By way of application, we present flexibility equations and prove the rigidity of an embedded gluing of two suspensions (bipyramids).
