Abstract:
Given a finite or infinite planar graph all of whose faces have degree , we study embeddings in the plane in which all edges have length , that is, in which every face is a rhombus. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of such an embedding, as well as a description of the set of all such embeddings. RÉSUMÉ. Etant donné un graphe planaire, fini ou infini, dont toutes les faces sont de degré , on étudie ses plongements dans le plan dont toutes les arêtes sont de longueur , c'est à dire dont toutes les faces sont des losanges. On donne une condition nécessaire et suffisante pour l'existence d'un tel plongement, et on décrit l'ensemble de ces plongements.
