Abstract
Let us fold a strip of paper many times in the same direction, and then unfold it to form a fixed angle at all creases. The resulting shape is called the Dragon curve with the unfolding angle . When , the corresponding Dragon curve has a self-intersection. When , the corresponding Dragon curve is a straight line, which has no self-intersection. In this paper, we will show that any Dragon curve whose unfolding angle is greater than and less than has no self-intersection.
