We prove several hardness results on folding origami crease patterns. Flat-folding finite crease patterns is fixed-parameter tractable in the ply of the folded pattern (how many layers overlap at any point) and the treewidth of an…

Let $\Omega_0$ denote the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^N$ ($N\ge 2$) centered at the origin. We suppose that $\Omega_0$ contains a core, given by a smaller concentric ball $D_0$, made of a (possibly) different material. We discover that,…
