Abstract: We study the existence of the two affine-equivalent bar-and-joint frameworks in Euclidean $d$-space which have some prescribed combinatorial structure and edge lengths. We show that the existence problem is always solvable theoretically and explain why to propose a practical algorithm for solving the problem is impossible.

Keywords: Euclidean $d$-space, graph, bar-and-joint framework, affine-equivalent frameworks, Cayley–Menger determinant, Cauchy rigidity theorem.
