The Grid Bracing Problem and a Generalization
The standard grid bracing problem has a nice solution via the brace graph. If we introduce a window by removing an interior vertex of the grid, this solution comletely breaks down. We examine a 6 x 10 unit grid with a 2 x 2 window and provide an optimal solution via the Rigidity Matrix.
