Unfolding Polyhedra

Computational Geometry 2019-08-21 v1

Abstract

Starting with the unsolved "D\"urer's problem" of edge-unfolding a convex polyhedron to a net, we specialize and generalize (a) the types of cuts permitted, and (b) the polyhedra shapes, to highlight both advances established and which problems remain open.
