  • Ununfoldable Polyhedra with Convex Faces
    Ununfoldable Polyhedra with Convex Faces Marshall Bern¤ Erik D. Demainey David Eppsteinz Eric Kuox Andrea Mantler{ Jack Snoeyink{ k Abstract Unfolding a convex polyhedron into a simple planar polygon is a well-studied prob- lem. In this paper, we study the limits of unfoldability by studying nonconvex poly- hedra with the same combinatorial structure as convex polyhedra. In particular, we give two examples of polyhedra, one with 24 convex faces and one with 36 triangular faces, that cannot be unfolded by cutting along edges. We further show that such a polyhedron can indeed be unfolded if cuts are allowed to cross faces. Finally, we prove that \open" polyhedra with triangular faces may not be unfoldable no matter how they are cut. 1 Introduction A classic open question in geometry [5, 12, 20, 24] is whether every convex polyhedron can be cut along its edges and flattened into the plane without any overlap. Such a collection of cuts is called an edge cutting of the polyhedron, and the resulting simple polygon is called an edge unfolding or net. While the ¯rst explicit description of this problem is by Shephard in 1975 [24], it has been implicit since at least the time of Albrecht Durer,Ä circa 1500 [11]. It is widely conjectured that every convex polyhedron has an edge unfolding. Some recent support for this conjecture is that every triangulated convex polyhedron has a vertex unfolding, in which the cuts are along edges but the unfolding only needs to be connected at vertices [10]. On the other hand, experimental results suggest that a random edge cutting of ¤Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, 3333 Coyote Hill Rd., Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, email: [email protected].

  • The Geometry Junkyard: Origami
    Table of Contents Table of Contents 1 Origami 2 Origami The Japanese art of paper folding is obviously geometrical in nature. Some origami masters have looked at constructing geometric figures such as regular polyhedra from paper. In the other direction, some people have begun using computers to help fold more traditional origami designs. This idea works best for tree-like structures, which can be formed by laying out the tree onto a paper square so that the vertices are well separated from each other, allowing room to fold up the remaining paper away from the tree. Bern and Hayes (SODA 1996) asked, given a pattern of creases on a square piece of paper, whether one can find a way of folding the paper along those creases to form a flat origami shape; they showed this to be NP-complete. Related theoretical questions include how many different ways a given pattern of creases can be folded, whether folding a flat polygon from a square always decreases the perimeter, and whether it is always possible to fold a square piece of paper so that it forms (a small copy of) a given flat polygon.

Introduction Folding and unfolding problems have been implicit since Albrecht D¨urer [1525], but have not been studied extensively in the mathematical literature until re- cently. Over the past few years, there has been a surge of interest in these problems in discrete and computational geometry. This paper gives a brief sur- vey of most of the work in this area. Related, shorter surveys are [Connelly and Demaine 2004; Demaine 2001; Demaine and Demaine 2002; O’Rourke 2000]. We are currently preparing a monograph on the topic [Demaine and O’Rourke ≥ 2005].

  • GEOMETRIC FOLDING ALGORITHMS I
    P1: FYX/FYX P2: FYX 0521857570pre CUNY758/Demaine 0 521 81095 7 February 25, 2007 7:5 GEOMETRIC FOLDING ALGORITHMS Folding and unfolding problems have been implicit since Albrecht Dürer in the early 1500s but have only recently been studied in the mathemat- ical literature. Over the past decade, there has been a surge of interest in these problems, with applications ranging from robotics to protein folding. With an emphasis on algorithmic or computational aspects, this comprehensive treatment of the geometry of folding and unfolding presents hundreds of results and more than 60 unsolved “open prob- lems” to spur further research. The authors cover one-dimensional (1D) objects (linkages), 2D objects (paper), and 3D objects (polyhedra). Among the results in Part I is that there is a planar linkage that can trace out any algebraic curve, even “sign your name.” Part II features the “fold-and-cut” algorithm, establishing that any straight-line drawing on paper can be folded so that the com- plete drawing can be cut out with one straight scissors cut. In Part III, readers will see that the “Latin cross” unfolding of a cube can be refolded to 23 different convex polyhedra. Aimed primarily at advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics or computer science, this lavishly illustrated book will fascinate a broad audience, from high school students to researchers. Erik D. Demaine is the Esther and Harold E. Edgerton Professor of Elec- trical Engineering and Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he joined the faculty in 2001. He is the recipient of several awards, including a MacArthur Fellowship, a Sloan Fellowship, the Harold E.

    The Star Unfolding from a Geodesic Curve by Stephen Kiazyk A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Mathematics in Computer Science Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2014 c Stephen Kiazyk 2014 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract An unfolding of a polyhedron P is obtained by `cutting' the surface of P in such a way that it can be flattened into the plane into a single polygon. For most practical and theoretic applications, it is desirable for an algorithm to produce an unfolding which is simple, that is, non-overlapping. Currently, two methods for unfolding which guarantee non-overlap for convex polyhedra are known, the source unfolding, and the star unfolding. Both methods involve computing shortest paths from a single source point on the polyhedron's surface. In this thesis, we attempt to prove non-overlap of a variant called the geodesic star unfolding. This unfolding, much like the star unfolding, is computed by cutting shortest paths from each vertex to λ, a geodesic curve on the surface of a convex polyhedron P, and also cutting λ itself. Non-overlap of this case was conjectured by Demaine and Lubiw [15]. We are unsuccessful in completely proving non-overlap, though we present a number of partial results, and discuss some areas for future study.
