Abstract Let (G, P) be a bar framework of n vertices in general position in
Rd
, for d n - 1, where G is a (d + 1)-lateration graph. In this paper, we
present a constructive proof that (G, P) admits a positive semidefinite stress
matrix with rank (n-d-1). We also prove a similar result for a sensor network,
where the graph consists of m( d + 1) anchors.

1 Introduction
Let V (G) and E(G) be, respectively, the vertex set and the edge set of a simple
edge-weighted graph G, where each edge (i, j) has a positive weight dij. The
graph realization problem (GRP) is the problem of determining whether there
