Abstract

Consider a curve Γ\Gamma in a domain DD in the plane R2\boldsymbol R^2. Thinking of DD as a piece of paper, one can make a curved folding PP in the Euclidean space R3\boldsymbol R^3. The singular set CC of PP as a space curve is called the crease of PP and the initially given plane curve Γ\Gamma is called the crease pattern of PP. In this paper, we show that in general there are four distinct non-congruent curved foldings with a given pair consisting of a crease and crease pattern. Two of these possibilities were already known, but it seems that the other two possibilities (i.e. four possibilities in total) are presented here for the first time.
