We present two algorithms for unfolding the surface of any polyhedron, all of whose faces are triangles, to a nonoverlapping, connected planar layout. The surface is cut only along polyhedron edges. The layout is connected, but it may have…

In the paper based on the question of Zhang and L\"{u}[15], we present one theorem which will improve and extend the results of Banerjee-Majumder [2] and a recent result of Li-Huang [9].

We offer a new perspective on the closed graph theorem and the open mapping theorem for separated barrelled spaces and fully complete spaces.

This is a study on approximating a Riemannian manifold by polyhedra. Our scope is understanding Tullio Regge's [52] article in the restricted Riemannian frame. We give a proof of the Regge theorem along lines close to its original…

An unfolding of a polyhedron along its edges is called a vertex unfolding if adjacent faces are allowed to be connected at not only an edge but also a vertex. Demaine et al showed that every triangulated polyhedron has a vertex unfolding.…

Ghomi proved that every convex polyhedron could be stretched via an affine transformation so that it has an edge-unfolding to a net [Gho14]. A net is a simple planar polygon; in particular, it does not self-overlap. One can view his result…

In this work, we show the geometric properties of a family of polyhedra obtained by folding a regular tetrahedron along regular triangular grids. Each polyhedron is identified by a pair of nonnegative integers. The polyhedron can be cut…

This paper considers an extension of origami geometry to the case of "folding" a three dimensional (3D) space along a plane. First, all possible incidence constraints between given points, lines and planes are analyzed by using the geometry…

This diploma thesis is concerned with functional decomposition $f = g \circ h$ of polynomials. First an algorithm is described which computes decompositions in polynomial time. This algorithm was originally proposed by Zippel (1991). A…

These are extended abstracts from an series of lectures in 1997. The text has not been updated since then. We explain the construction of the motivic polylog as published in Annette Huber, J\"org Wildeshaus, Classical Motivic Polylogarithm…

We present a universal crease pattern--known in geometry as the tetrakis tiling and in origami as box pleating--that can fold into any object made up of unit cubes joined face-to-face (polycubes). More precisely, there is one universal…

In this paper we prove that a generic rational equation of degree $7$ is solvable by 2-fold origami. In particular we show how to septisect an arbitrary angle. This extends the work of Alperin & Lang and Nishimura on 2-fold origami.…

Let $S_{g}$ denote the closed orientable surface of genus $g$. In joint work with Huang, the first author constructed exponentially-many (in $g$) mapping class group orbits of pairs of simple closed curves whose complement is a single…

Rigidly and flat-foldable quadrilateral mesh origami is the class of quadrilateral mesh crease patterns with one fundamental property: the patterns can be folded from flat to fully-folded flat by a continuous one-parameter family of…

We survey results on the foldability of flat origami models. The main topics are the question of when a given crease pattern can fold flat, the combinatorics of mountain and valley creases, and counting how many ways a given crease pattern…

Can folding a piece of paper flat make it larger? We explore whether a shape $S$ must be scaled to cover a flat-folded copy of itself. We consider both single folds and arbitrary folds (continuous piecewise isometries $S\rightarrow R^2$).…

We derive new algebraic equations for the folding angle relationships in completely general degree-four rigid-foldable origami vertices, including both Euclidean (developable) and non-Euclidean cases. These equations in turn lead to novel,…

We consider the problem of finding a homomorphism from an input digraph $G$ to a fixed digraph $H$. We show that if $H$ admits a weak-near-unanimity polymorphism $\phi$ then deciding whether $G$ admits a homomorphism to $H$ (HOM($H$)) is…

In this article, we modify the proof of holomorphic quilts from Wehrheim and Woodward in \cite{wehrheim2009floer} to construct a specific type of immersed holomorphic quilt, where the symplectic manifolds are closed surfaces. The…

This paper presents an additional class of regular polyhedra--envelope polyhedra--made of regular polygons, where the arrangement of polygons (creating a single surface) around each vertex is identical; but dihedral angles between faces…
