Glossary

Atypical graph:

A special graph with symmetry, such as parallel lines – in contrast to a generic graph.

Covalent bond:

When a covalent bond exists between two atoms in a molecule, the bond length is fixed and independent of the environment. The bond angle is also usually fixed between two covalent bonds that share a common atom.

Dihedral angle rotation:

A rotation about a covalent bond connecting two atoms in a larger molecule.

Generic graph:

A graph with arbitrary positions of the vertices and associated edges.

Geometrical simulation:

A technique that allows the motion of the flexible parts of a network to be determined while obeying all the constraints, both equalities and inequalities.

Graph:

A set of vertices connected by edges.

Hyperstatic:

When the number of degrees of freedom is less than the number of constraints plus the number of rigid body motions.

Hypostatic:

When the number of degrees of freedom is greater than the number of constraints plus the number of rigid...
