Abstract
We present an algorithm that enumerates and classifies all edge-to-edge gluings of unit squares that correspond to convex polyhedra. We show that the number of such gluings of squares is polynomial in , and the algorithm runs in time polynomial in (pseudopolynomial if is considered the only input). Our technique can be applied in several similar settings, including gluings of regular hexagons and triangles.
