Continuous Flattening of a Regular Tetrahedron with Explicit Mappings
We use the terminology polyhedron for a closed polyhedral surface which is permitted to touch itself but not self-intersect (and so a doubly covered polygon is a polyhedron). A flat folding of a polyhedron is a folding by creases into a multilayered planar shape ([7], [8]). A. Cauchy [4] in 1813 proved that any convex polyhedron is rigid: precisely, if two convex polyhedra P, P ′ are combinator...
متن کاملCovering the Plane with Congruent Copies of a Convex Body
It is shown that every plane compact convex set /f with an interior point admits a covering of the plane with density smaller than or equal to 8(2\/3 — 3)/3 = 1.2376043 For comparison, the thinnest covering of the plane with congruent circles is of density 2n/\Z21 = 1.209199576... (see R. Kershner [3]), which shows that the covering density bound obtained here is close to the best possible. It ...
متن کاملConvex developments of a regular tetrahedron
The best-known developments of a regular tetrahedron are an equilateral triangle and a parallelogram. Are there any other convex developments of a regular tetrahedron? In this paper we will show that there are convex developments of a regular tetrahedron having the following shapes: an equilateral triangle, an isosceles triangle, a right-angled triangle, scalene triangles, rectangles, parallelo...
متن کاملCovering the Plane with Congruent Copies of a Convex Disk
It is shown that there exists a number d 0 < 8(2 p 3?3)=3 = 1:237604::, such that every compact convex set K with an interior point admits a covering of the plane with density smaller than or equal to d 0. This improves on the previous result 9], which showed that a density of 8(2 p 3 ? 3)=3 can always be obtained. Since the thinnest covering of the plane with congruent circles is of density 2=...
متن کاملCovering Belt Bodies by Smaller Homothetical Copies
Let b(K) denote the minimal number of smaller homothetical copies of a convex body K ⊂ R, n ≥ 2, covering K. For the class B of belt bodies, which is dense in the set of all convex bodies (in the Hausdorff metric), 3 · 2 is known to be an upper bound on b(K) if K is different from a parallelotope. We will show that (except for all parallelotopes and two particular cases, each satisfying b(K) = ...
