Abstract
An efficient algorithm is presented for the formation of cycle bases of graphs corresponding to sparse cycle-member incidence matrices, leading to the formation of highly sparse flexibility matrices. The algorithm presented employs a new expansion process and uses an efficient graph-theoretical method for controlling the independence of the selected cycles.
