Enumerating All Convex Polyhedra Glued from Squares in Polynomial Time

Computational Geometry 2021-11-30 v2

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 nn squares is polynomial in nn, and the algorithm runs in time polynomial in nn (pseudopolynomial if nn is considered the only input). Our technique can be applied in several similar settings, including gluings of regular hexagons and triangles.
