Ununfoldable polyhedra

چکیده
A well-studied problem is that of unfolding a convex polyhedron into a simple planar polygon. In this paper, we study the limits of unfoldability. We give an example of a polyhedron with convex faces that cannot be unfolded by cutting along its edges. We further show that such a polyhedron can indeed be unfolded if cuts are allowed to cross faces. Finally, we prove that \open" polyhedra with convex faces may not be unfoldable no matter how they are cut.

متن کاملUnunfoldable polyhedra with convex faces
Unfolding a convex polyhedron into a simple planar polygon is a well-studied problem. In this paper, we study the limits of unfoldability by studying nonconvex polyhedra with the same combinatorial structure as convex polyhedra. In particular, we give two examples of polyhedra, one with 24 convex faces and one with 36 triangular faces, that cannot be unfolded by cutting along edges. We further ...
متن کاملZipper Unfolding of Domes and Prismoids
We study Hamiltonian unfolding—cutting a convex polyhedron along a Hamiltonian path of edges to unfold it without overlap—of two classes of polyhedra. Such unfoldings could be implemented by a single zipper, so they are also known as zipper edge unfoldings. First we consider domes, which are simple convex polyhedra. We find a family of domes whose graphs are Hamiltonian, yet any Hamiltonian unf...

متن کاملSusceptibility of three Eco-races of tropical Tasar silkworm to Antheraea mylitta cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (AmCPV)
Pathogenic infection in tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury. is common and there is a breed specific response regarding tolerance. Observations reveal the possibility of differential response by haemocytes to microbial infection in different breeds. Hence, the susceptibility of three eco-races of tasar silkworm viz. Daba, Sarihan and Raily to Antheraea mylitta Cytoplasmic Polyhedrosis Virus...
