In this paper we explore and develop a simple set of rules that apply to cutting, pasting, and folding honeycomb lattices. We consider origami-like structures that are extinsically flat away from zero-dimensional sources of Gaussian…
The geometric intersection number of a curve on a surface is the minimal number of self-intersections of any homotopic curve, i.e. of any curve obtained by continuous deformation. Given a curve $c$ represented by a closed walk of length at…
Origami, the ancient art of folding thin sheets, has attracted increasing attention for its practical value in diverse fields: architectural design, therapeutics, deployable space structures, medical stent design, antenna design and…
In this paper, we will show methods to interpret some rigid origami with higher degree vertices as the limit case of structures with degree-4 supplementary angle vertices. The interpretation is based on separating each crease into two…
A simple topological graph $G$ is a graph drawn in the plane so that any pair of edges have at most one point in common, which is either an endpoint or a proper crossing. $G$ is called saturated if no further edge can be added without…
For the complex of curves of a closed orientable surface of genus $g$, $\mathcal{C}(S_{g>1})$, the notion of efficient geodesic in was introduced in arXiv:1408.4133. There it was established that there always exists (finitely many)…
We prove that the following problem has the same computational complexity as the existential theory of the reals: Given a generic self-intersecting closed curve $\gamma$ in the plane and an integer $m$, is there a polygon with $m$ vertices…
An origami extrusion is a folding of a 3D object in the middle of a flat piece of paper, using 3D gadgets which create faces with solid angles. In this paper we focus on 3D gadgets which create a top face parallel to the ambient paper and…
We prove that the separated curve complex of a closed orientable surface of genus g is (g-3)-connected. We also obtain a connectivity property for a separated curve complex of the open surface that is obtained by removing a finite set from…
We show that periodically folded graphene sheets with enhanced spin-orbit interaction due to curvature effects can carry spin polarized currents and have gaps in the electronic spectrum in the presence of weak magnetic fields. Our results…
The paper focuses on two problems: (i) how to orient the edges of an undirected graph in order to maximize the number of ordered vertex pairs (x,y) such that there is a directed path from x to y, and (ii) how to orient the edges so as to…
THIS IS A CORRECTED VERSION INCLUDING AN APPENDED CORRIGENDUM. Best match graphs arise naturally as the first processing intermediate in algorithms for orthology detection. Let $T$ be a phylogenetic (gene) tree $T$ and $\sigma$ an…
Let $G(V, E)$ be a simple connected graph, with $|E| = \epsilon.$ In this paper, we define an edge-set graph $\mathcal G_G$ constructed from the graph $G$ such that any vertex $v_{s,i}$ of $\mathcal G_G$ corresponds to the $i$-th…
We analyze the problem of folding one polyhedron, viewed as a metric graph of its edges, into the shape of another, similar to 1D origami. We find such foldings between all pairs of Platonic solids and prove corresponding lower bounds,…
A path in an edge-colored graph is called \emph{a conflict-free path} if there exists a color used on only one of its edges. An edge-colored graph is called \emph{conflict-free connected} if there is a conflict-free path between each pair…
We resolve a conjecture of Hegarty regarding the number of edges in the square of a regular graph. If $G$ is a connected $d$-regular graph with $n$ vertices, the graph square of $G$ is not complete, and $G$ is not a member of two narrow…
We study the problem of simultaneous geometric embedding of two paths without self-intersections on an integer grid. We show that minimizing the length of the longest edge of such an embedding is NP-hard. We also show that we can minimize…
A one-degree-of-freedom graph is a graph obtained from a minimally rigid graph in the plane and removing an edge. For such graph, the set of realisations with fixed edge length, modulo rotations and reflections, is an algebraic curve. The…
This paper deals with themes such as approximate counting/evaluation of the total number of flat-foldings for random origami diagrams, evaluation of the values averaged over various instances, obtaining forcing sets for general origami…
Simple drawings are drawings of graphs in which any two edges intersect at most once (either at a common endpoint or a proper crossing), and no edge intersects itself. We analyze several characteristics of simple drawings of complete…
